RipIT 3.6.0

RipIT is used to create MPEG-1 Layer 3 (mp3), Flac (flac) or Ogg Vorbis (ogg) audio files from an audio CD and from version 3.4 also faac (m4a). RipIT is a console based front-end (no fancy GUI here), written in perl, for these excellent programs:
- dagrab, cdparanoia or cdda2wav (tosha and cdd are also supported) for ripping the audio CD tracks (I dont know if dagrab is still up to date..., but its COOL!)
- Lame, OggVorbis, Flac or Faac for encoding the wav files to mp3, ogg, flac or m4a (find some info and links)
- CDDB_get (perl module) for CDDB retrieval (info and links).
Main features:
- Gets the Audio CD Album/Artist/Tracks information from CDDB
- Rips the Audio CD Tracks
- Encodes to flac, mp3 or ogg
- id3 tags encoded songs
- Creates an playlist (m3u) file
- Can prepare and send a CDDB submission.
Enhancements:
- Some minor bugs were fixed.
- The following options have been introduced: merge, resume, md5sum (to create MD5-sum files for each type of sound file), core (to allow several encoding processes on each machine), fpermission and dpermission (to set directory and file permissions), ghost (an experimental feature to split wavs with silence into chunks of sound), prepend and extend (to enlarge chunks of sound when split with the ghost option), and ejectcmd and ejectopt.
