I devised an automated system for ripping. I had an external CD-ROM attached to the Kuro Box I'm storing music and used the abcde shell script to automate ripping. It detects a CD in the drive, go to freedb for tags, rip to FLAC, and eject. And notify me (on the Squeezebox display, as well as email to my phone/BlackBerry) when done.
cdparanoia (which is used for audio extraction on Linux) is very good. I had a CD with a radial groove that was unplayable on any CD player, and I let cdparanoia chew on it overnight--I now have a rip of the affected track with no detectable flaws. The semi-automation was a great boon--I didn't need to babysit a PC while this was happening, so I could pop in discs at my leisure and get about 20 done a day, and just keep plugging away at it (1000 CDs). -- mrfantasy --Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mrfantasy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1127 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27024 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
