cd ripping in Slack 10.2

linuxhippy · 06-02-2006, 01:14 PM

I like using grip and it worked fine in Slack 10.1 with a package from linuxpackages.net. Grip won't compile from source for Slack 10.2 and I cannot find any binary packages. Are there binaries around for grip in Slack 10.2 or is there another way of ripping cds as mp3s in Slack 10.2?

ripperX is a good interface to ripping CDs.

A combination of cdparanoia and lame works fine for me.

ripperX works good in GUI. I'm actually using an old pc and prefer CLI-I will look into cdparanoia.

Thanks!

actually, could I combine CDDB lookup with cdparanoia and lame from CLI?

You may want to take a look at abcde. It's a command line front end for cdparanoia and lame AND it will do cddb lookups.

If you're using KDE, the "Audio CD" browser function of Konqueror works well. You can drag & drop songs as mp3, ogg, flac or wav to whatever directory you have write permissions in.

And it'll do the CDDB lookup and put id3 tags into your ripped tracks!

I don't run KDE or gnome so there is a lot of stuff I can't use. But I had good luck with xcdroast. It's great if you run X.

I like abcde on my Slack box-any idea how it knows which CDDB to use on the internet? I assume it's freedb...how would I change this?

abcde uses a program called cd-discid (written by the same guy who wrote abcde) to perfomr CDDB lookups. The README file included in the cd-discid package describes how the lookup is performed. I suggest you start there.

Neither the man page or the readme for cd-discid give the configuration file that's used. where is the .conf file? Is there one?

There isn't a conf file. If you want to change the lookup site, I think you're going to have to modify the program code.
