See http://groups.google.com/group/rubyripper-release/browse_thread/thread/49a104e72ea57e0e , looks like development work has stopped.
Rubyripper is IMHO the best Linux ripper out there because it will detect and log errors, although contrary to the program's design, it usually doesn't correct them. It also encodes to multiple formats and just recently started supporting multi-threading. However I've always had an issue regarding its error "correction" philosophy - just because a chunk reads the same twice, it doesn't mean it's good. This is true in practice, I have a fair amount of "corrected" errors that cause audible defects in rips. But at least I know where they are... Upgrading my test machine to Ubuntu 8.04 the other day has prompted me to look for a replacement since I can't get Rubyripper to run on it. Rather than waste time trying to get it working, is there a replacement with all those features or should I give in and run EAC under wine? That's the one thing I find isn't very evolved about Linux - there are no really good rippers that log errors and rip to multiple formats. Grip doesn't log errors or rip to multiple formats and I really can't take Sound Juicer seriously... -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47307 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
