EDIT: Made this "the" favorite ripper thread, since I couldn't find one I thought existed. --pjp

what ebuild (cd-ripper) is there that rips fairly fast but
finds every copy-protection and ignores/bypasses it?
some hardcore get this f..ing song allready-type of thing...

any suggestions? advices?

grip is a nice frontend for cdparanoia, oggenc and lame/some other mp3 encoder.

And you can't make it go any faster, since the error checks cdparanoia makes take time (unless you turn them off)

Hi,

Just installed K3b on KDE and it looks excellent.
Unfortunately, it does not seem to include ripping audio CD:s and mp3 encoding.

I'd like something written for KDE that let's me do this. (Something along the lines of GRIP, but for KDE.

Any tips from you guys?

Thanks
/Jonas

Have you tried Arson? I remember trying it briefly and thinking it was nifty.

I do most of my cd rip/record stuff from the command line now, tho. Seems to be faster--for me at least.

Click the gear icon on the vertical icon bar in Konqueror. Click "Audio CD Browser", then select the file format you want to rip and copy those to wherever you want them on your hard drive.

cdda2wav cdparanioa if you got jitter along with the song
and oggenc

PLEASE use ogg!!

simple comandline encoing #oggenc -m 160 -M 160 files.wav files2.wav

cant remember right now of cdda2wav but its simple cdda2wav --help
and man cdda2wav will help you get started.

I use Grip http://nostatic.org/grip/ for ripping.
It's a gtk frontend to cdparanoia, cdda2wav, ..., lame, bladeenc, ogg vorbis, ... and uses CDDB.

use kio (just open audiocd:/ in konqueror)

or use KaudioKreator (or what ever that's called) - it's a ripper app like grip for KDE, but it's only installed in kde3.1 and only if you have cdr in your USE flags... it's a killer app, but I like the audiocd:/ kio slave better

(btw it's in the kdemultimedia package incase you didn't guess that already)

It isn't gui, but abcde is nice because it will rip and encode. And yes, you should use ogg as it is better in almost every aspect. (the only way it isn't is that I can't find an ogg-cd player for the life of me

)

Unfortunately, my iPod doesnt support it. Does anyone know of any hardware support for Ogg?

There's none AFAIK

On a side note, it always amuses me when people suggest that everybody and their brother should use Ogg, keeping in mind that w/o hardware support it's pretty much useless...

There is hardware supporting ogg. It is some car sterio system. I don't have a car though....
And ogg is quite useful without hardware that supports it. There is this magical thing called a computer, and it runs another magical thing called a program, which magically reads and plays oggs!!

I use abcde

Code: Select all

emerge abcde

put in audio cd

Code: Select all

abcde -d /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 -o ogg

it will rip to your home dir, in the directory of the title of the cd

easy as abcde

I think abcde is about the slickest. I like the ripperX gui and easytag also.

I'll do as you say on one condition... You talk to SonicBlue and get them to release a Rom update to the Rio800 to let it play mp3 files (they can take the wma support out to make room if they have to.. it's cool with me).
No?
Darn... I've been trying to find someone to do that for me for so long.... Maybe one day I'll eventually be able to switch to ogg...

if you not got a portable device thou that isn't a consideration. ive had too many mp3 players break on me so i gave up heh

i use grip and ogg, yet to set it up thou and rip something but i intend to, at some point:)

MasquedAvenger · Post by **MasquedAvenger** » Sun Sep 14, 2003 7:59 am

Hey everyone. Any recommendations out of the software found in portage as to what I could use to rip cd audio tracks to mp3s? I would like a graphical way to do it as well as command line way. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

James

StuBear · Post by **StuBear** » Sun Sep 14, 2003 8:11 am

Grip.

It's graphical, it rips and encodes (also encodes to Ogg if you aren't happy with mp3

)
Reads from CDDB and auto labels and tags files.

Command line - cdparanoia and lame (or oggenc if you like Ogg) and id3tag (from id3libs) to add id3 tags.

hope that helps

Stu

Or KAudioCreator if you like KDE more, it's part of kdemultimedia

dl1vr8r · Post by **dl1vr8r** » Sun Sep 14, 2003 8:08 pm

Grip or sound-juicer both work very well as GUI clients. Both are in portage.

For command line, nothing beats abcde. Take a couple of minutes to tweak abcde.conf and you can rip, encode, tag, and archive cds with one command. It's what I always use.

vbenares · Post by **vbenares** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 12:07 am

Is it possible to play the ripped files or the original CD with Grip?

scriptkiddie · Post by **scriptkiddie** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 1:38 am

I know Grip will play the cds.. but I dont remember if it will play the OGG files or mp3 files....

christsong84 · Post by **christsong84** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 3:10 am

personally I never got grip to work (even on redhat/bluehat, slackware, debian, etc.) I ended up using just ripperX

just my $0.02
