Hi, A while back I there were some messages on this list about difficulties ripping CD's, the ripper in RDLibrary taking a long time and ripping at an incorrect sample rate.
This past week I ran into this issue while doing trials on 2.1.1 after having compiled it on a Ubuntu Hardy machine (and yes - I know that Hardy is beyond its supported life, but I've got a few machines that are old enough they just don't seem to like Lucid very much, but run fine with Hardy. As a result getting Rivendell 2.1.1 running properly on Hardy has been something I've worked on). My issue was that no matter what sample rate I set Rivendell to use, any CD's I ripped in rdlibrary would use an incorrect sample rate and the tracks would sound like they were playing back either too slow or too fast. And the ripping would take a long time. I managed to find the solution. Libparanoia was a very old version, by updating to the latest version - compiling it from the latest source - it fixed both the slow ripping and the sample rate issues I was experiencing. http://www.xiph.org/paranoia/ I also found that there was a little improvement in the speed of rip's after updating to the latest Secret Rabbit Code. http://www.mega-nerd.com/SRC/ Otherwise this was the last outstanding issue that I've come across running Rivendell 2.1.1 in Ubuntu Hardy. Just thought I'd pass on the solution that I found in case it helps anyone else out who has experienced the "long CD ripping times" in RDLibrary.
