RipIT Description

RipIT is used to create MPEG-1 Layer 3 (mp3), Flac (flac) or Ogg Vorbis (ogg) audio files from an audio CD. RipIT is used to create MPEG-1 Layer 3 (mp3), Flac (flac) or Ogg Vorbis (ogg) audio files from an audio CD and from version 3.4 also faac (m4a). RipIT is a console based front-end (no fancy GUI here), written in perl, for these excellent programs:- dagrab, cdparanoia or cdda2wav (tosha and cdd are also supported) for ripping the audio CD tracks (I don't know if dagrab is still up to date..., but it's COOL!)- Lame, OggVorbis, Flac or Faac for encoding the wav files to mp3, ogg, flac or m4a (find some info and links)- CDDB_get (perl module) for CDDB retrieval (info and links). Here are some key features of "RipIT": · Gets the Audio CD Album/Artist/Tracks information from CDDB · Rips the Audio CD Tracks · Encodes to flac, mp3 or ogg · id3 tags encoded songs · Creates an playlist (m3u) file · Can prepare and send a CDDB submission. What's New in This Release: · There are two new options: --normcmd to specify the command to be used for normalizing the audio-CD and --uppercasefirst to modify CDDB entries in uppercase only. Other options have been enhanced: · --dirtemplate : Additional variables like $quality and $sufix are accepted to define different output directories for each format, variable $iletter can be used to have the first character of the artist name in the path. · --coder : This otpion may accept the same format more than once! See examples in the manpage. · --ghost : will try to trim lead in/out of a track when arguments to options --extend and --prepend are small, e.g. 0.3; to be used with caution. Furthermore this option wil delete very short tracks (< 300KB) if empty. · --disable-paranoia : can not only be switched on and off (1, 0), but also set to give up a ripping process that lasts too long because of scratches and restart that track without paranoia (argument 2). · --threads : has been renamed and was called --core in earlier versions. · Find out more with the option --help. Beside that some bugfixes were done: · Problems with very long filenames and certain settings not being read from the config file were reported and should be fixed now. The problem with very special characters in Lame-tags should be solved too. Note that id3v2.3.0 does either accept ISO-8859-15 or UTF-16, but not UTF-8. I don't know how it will work in the future, when id3v2.4.0 will be better integrated (see e.g. this changelog about id3v2.4.0). RipIT will try to transcode non ISO-8859-15 characters, like e.g. ? to w, if one uses option --noutftag. Else, these characters will stay as is, and tags (only) may look corrupted in some other applications when using Lame.
