[Freevo-users] Can't rip a cd to flac files

[Michel Hoogervorst]

Hi,

I would like to rip my entire cd collection to flac files.
I understand Freevo should be able to do this, but I cannot find any information on how to get it working.

I've added the line "flac = /usr/bin/flac" to /etc/freevo/freevo.conf
And to /etc/freevo/freevo.conf.py I've added the next two lines:


      FLAC_CMD ='flac'
      CD_RIP_FLAC_OPTS = '-0'


Now Freevo shows Flac in the CD Backup menu, but when I start the CD backup nothing seems to happen.

This is what I get to see on the console:

Exception in thread Thread-4:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/threading.py", line 442, in __bootstrap

_debug_('flac_command: %s' % (flac_command))
NameError: global name 'flac_command' is not defined

In the meantime, I've posted this question to the freevohelp.com forums, and tried a few things like using the full path to 'FLAC_CMD' and to change " CD_RIP_FLAC_OPTS" to "FLAC_OPTS", but without any luck.

Flac works correct when I manually type "flac -0 test.wav".


Does anyone know what to do?

I'm using Freevo 1.5.4 on a Mandriva 2006 system.
