is there a way to let cdda2wav write files and dirs with cddb names?


All graphical tools seem to screw up the files (only 1 second of sound and then nothing) so I'm using cdda2wav in the command line. Though I've set it to use cddb it only creates files like audio1.wav. Is there a way to make it write the title of the song and artist onto the file (and not in the loose .inf files?)

Which frontends are there cause I tried grip (ripper configuration error) ripperx (no sound) grip with paranoia (no sound) and I can't get grip to use cdda2wav

I use a Python script to do this with the CDDB modules. I could paste the code here if you're interested, though you'd have to modify it a little if you actually want wav files - my script creates FLAC and OGG files directly with the CDDB names (in the hierarchy: (flacdir)/artist/album/00 - track name.flac)

If you could I'd very much like to at least have a look at it I know some python myself so I might be able to do it but otherwise the other format is ok too, it's because my computer sound is better than my CD player so I want to listen my CDs on the computer. And on the fly it makes my CDs less used so they don't break anymore.

OK, I've edited this a tiny bit to remove some unnecessary fluff, and it's not the best code, but I stopped as soon as it worked, since no-one else would ever need it... so much for that idea
I've also added a few comments to make it easier to weed out the stuff you don't care about.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/python
import os, sys, traceback
import DiscID, CDDB
import time

# The LISTFILE stuff is to keep a record of which CDs have been ripped already - I didn't want any mistakes or duplicates
LISTFILE = "rippedcd.lst"
os.system( 'touch ' + LISTFILE )            # Make sure it exists

# Handle problem characters - just replaces every first string with the matching second string
def safe( name ):
        badchars = [('?', ''), ('\\', ''), ('/', ''), (':', '-'), ('"', "'")]
        for x in badchars:
                name = name.replace( x[0], x[1] )
        return name

# I'm almost positive there is a 'right' way to do this...
def direxists( name ):
        try:
                os.stat( name )
                return 1
        except:
                return 0

# Function that checks the CD serial against those in LISTFILE and aborts if necessary
def check_cd():
        try:
                dev = DiscID.open()
                id = DiscID.disc_id(dev)
                dev.close()
                idhex = id[0].__hex__()
                try:
                        f = open(LISTFILE, 'r')
                except:
                        print os.getcwd()
                for line in f:
                        if line.strip('\n') == idhex:
                                print idhex, "CD already ripped"
                                f.close()
                                return 0
                f.close()
                return id
        except:
                inf = sys.exc_info()
                traceback.print_tb( inf[2] )
                return 0

details = check_cd()
if details:
        try:
                # Get the track and album names - may need some alterations for abnormal CDDB entries
                cddb = CDDB.query( details )
                cddb = cddb[1]
                if type(cddb) == type([]):
                        cddb = cddb[0]
                names = CDDB.read( cddb['category'], cddb['disc_id'] )
                names = names[1]
                titles = [ safe(x.strip()) for x in names['DTITLE'].split(' / ', 1) ]
                if len(titles) == 1:
                        titles = ['Various'] + titles

                        titles.append(safe(names['TTITLE%d' % n]))
                        n+=1

                # I have flac and ogg directories already created - adjust for your needs
                dir1 = 'flac/' + titles[0]
                dir2 = 'ogg/' + titles[0]

You should be able to just by removing the "| flac" portion of the command and changing the fname parameter (and removing the second part that does the ogg stuff)
