[slim] OT - variables in CD ripping speed
This is OT, aside from the fact I'm ripping to my music server for playing using my SB system. I've noted quite a range in the speed at which CDs get ripped, using dBpoweramp. Sometimes they're slow, like 4 or 5 times playback. Other times it will approach 15 or even 20. dBp settings don't change. It's not clear what the variables are. It's not dirt or scratches (sometimes that's a factor, but it's not a generic factor). Sometimes in low-budget contexts it can be CD burning technology, where it appears the burn is done in a CD-rewritable fashion. But often it's none of the above. For instance, just today I'm ripping CDs from Joni Mitchell's newly released Archives V. 1 box set; I'm getting very slow rip speeds, despite the fact it's a well-produced package selling in the gazillions. What are the variables here? Ron PS -- why am I ripping CDs when I could download the files in lossless format? Because I wanted the liner notes; Joni grew up in Saskatchewan, from whence I hail, and it was very interesting to me to read about places I know. Also because the package was given to me as a birthday present, so I didn't actually have to buy it.

I think you probably need a URL like squeezeexec:secret=123456789012=/usr/bin/eject or maybe just squeezeexec:secret=123456789012=eject -- including the required "secret" argument as mentioned in 'this post' (https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?78259-Playlist-quot-Macro-quot-URL-Commands-Maybe-Kidsplay=543452=1#post543452) and ideally setting "p0" to the full path of the eject command. I haven't used squeezexec: in a very long time, but I would expect you could use the LMS web "Tune in URL" to test the squeezeexec: URL. As OPML is XML, you'd encode a URL like "squeezeexec:secret=123456789012=/usr/bin/eject" as "squeezeexec:secret=123456789012**p0=/usr/bin/eject". Another thing: historically Linux distributions have used a group like "cdrom" to limit who can use the CD/DVD drive. You might need to permanently add the Unix user that LMS runs as to that group so that it can eject the optical disk -- just running the eject command won't be enough if the LMS user lacks sufficient privileges. And the scanner bug I mentioned in 'this post' (https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?78259-Playlist-quot-Macro-quot-URL-Commands-Maybe-Kidsplay=544174=1#post544174) might still cause problems.
