Grip Riping question


I use to run Grip on Mandrake 9 and i used 'grip (cdparanoia)' option for th e ripper. Now, Imcurrently using Redhat 8.0 and there is no 'grip (cdparanoia) only "cdparanoia". Assuming that the 'built-in' version handles error/jitter/scratch detection/repair better, How can i obtain this package? Would I need to compile grip from Grip's site? Im using Version 3.0.1, the version included with Redhat 8.0

Thanks.

well it's well known that redhat removed all the MP3 stuff from RH80, so i'd not be that surprised if they did the same with cdparanoia... but then... why is grip there at all? eiher way i'd suggest downlaoding it from the grip site. i think they've got a RH compatible rpm there ready for you, that is , if you don't feel like compiling it yourself. there's scertainly no info on the grip site about any RH hacks

Just did. Grips website has an RH8.0 RPM and it works perfect now... weird.

Also - Would anyone happen to know what 'Calculate Gain Adjust" in the cdparanoia config pane does? Is this equivilent to 'Normalizing'? The documentation doesn't say.

Until grip supports GTK2 (I'll presume it doesn't like most current apps), it won't compile with the source code. In which case you're dependent on the binaries from rpmfind.

Grip installed from binaries works fine - I think the mp3 RH8.0 thing was just with xmms.

Don't try this with Eroaster the CD burning software though - the precompiled binaries don't work.

I was just griping (pun intended) about RH8.0 off-the-wall compatibility decisions. Grip probably needs GTK1.2 to compile ? Just like Eroaster needs pygtk1.2 not pygtk2.

It's a cross RH8.0 users have to bear. For the time being.

new problem -- ran grip from console with --verbose checked...

Ripping away!
Ripping track 2 to /home/bkeating/mp3/robyn_miller/riven__the_soundtrack/atrusheme.wav
Calling CDPRip

Unable to open cdrom drive.
Rip finished


Thats just a small snippet to show you the 'unable to open cdrom drive', there is no other information on this. If i run Grip as root, theirs no problems, So i thought maybe it were permissions, but i can read data CDs and it even did a CDDB on the Audio CD im trying to rip, it just wont spin up the CD and rip it, but it acts like it does, super quick (it goes through the rip and enc process but without actually touching the CD )

Any ideas on this one?

If your cdrom drive is an ide-scsi, then you need to tell grip that of course.

Scsi emulation enables Linux 2.4 kernels to mount cdrom drives as r/w. Your drive is mounted as read only.

Try mounting the cd rom drive like this:

mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom

- I think that's correct and your drive should be mounted as r/w.

You may need to launch grip in the same way:

grip -d /dev/scd0

in grip my cdrom drive spins down between each song, I unchecked the "stop cd-rom player between songs" and still it spins down? How can I work around this?

I have a quad core and in the best case, only 2 cores are used
