 GRIP rips with a 4.4x speed and also has to encode the track after

No, I guess Musicmatch is just a low quality monster which doesn't check
c2 error pointers while reading. It will work most of the time, but if you try
to rip a scratched disc, you probably will get false data without noticing it.

I don't know GRIP, but perhaps it cares about quality and is therefore a
bit slower.

You could try cdda2wav with the paranoia option to see how fast your
drive can rip without producing garbage.

audio - mp3 kaudiocreator replacement

2005-07-31 Thread dick hoogendijk
I once used kaudiocreator to rip some CD's and convert them to MP3
files. It had a very nice graphical interface. I know of cdda2mp3 (rip)
and lame (mp3) but like the easy use of this kind of program.

KAudiocreator however is a KDE program. I don't have anything of kde
installed and like to keep it that way if possible. So, my question:
does anybody know a program like kaudiocreator, without the gnome/kde
library needs or should I do a portinstall afterall? I don't need k3b
or such.. I use plain burncd :)

Another approach would be a really good script to rip/encode CD's.
Suggestions?

You can read audio tracks directly from ata CD-Drives with /dev/acd0t1 t2 t3 
etc. You just have to set the block size of 2352. (for examples see 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-cds.html)
The you can make ogg out of the resulting wave files for example...

 Is there another program that comes close to the abilities and easy of
 use of this kaudicreator?
 -(My WM is fvmw)-
 I like fast running progs.

I have actually had some trouble with kaudiocreator lately
(taking forever to rip anything). crip is in ports and runs
very quickly in a text console. If you want a gui, there is grip.
