Hallo, Peter Plessas hat gesagt: // Peter Plessas wrote: > i am wondering how to add cddb support to cdparanoia, so i could rip my > cds on an X-less computer. jack.sf.net, which I mentioned in my other mail, works without X, and it sooo easy to use, it's amazing. It comes with decent defaults (at least on Debian), however I have a ~/.jack3rc which overwrites soem settings: encoder:flac vbr_quality:6 You could also use "encoder:ogg" or "encoder:mp3" instead. Ogg is default on Debian. Using jack then is as simple as inserting a CD and typing: $ jack It will fire up an ncurses-frontend to show the progress and will encode into a new directory using generic filenames like "track_01.ogg". You can interrupt this process anytime and go on with another "$ jack" later. You query FreeDB afterwards with: $ jack -q This will rename all files to a configurable format like artist-title.ogg and will also rename the directory containing the files to the CD title. It's all very well thought out, dead easy to use and very reliable. Of course it's also configurable in any way, if needed. It's just one of those programs, that gets things done fast and simple.
