Free cd rippers software for linux

RipperX is a GTK program to rip CD audio and encode it into MP3, OGG, or FLAC files.
It can rip and encode in parallel, and has plugins for cdparanoia, BladeEnc, Lame, GoGo, FHG (l3enc and mp3enc), XingMp3enc, 8hz-mp3, and the ISO encoder.
RipperX also has support for CDDB and ID3v1 tags.
Enhancements:
- bug fixing release

cd player is a really small cd player for Linux with a curses-like user interface.
Main features:
- mcdp is a small (maybe the smallest) cd-player for _linux_
- it compiles/runs out off the box
- it can be compiled against dietlibc (~16kb static!)
- working play methods: reapeat cd, repeat track and intro
- since version 0.3a, minimal cddb title download is also included

jRipper is an cd ripper and audio converter made in java.
jRipper can encode and decode Wav, Flac, MP3, Ogg, AAC(M4A) formats.
jRipper project is an frontend to cdda2wav, lame, oggenc/oggdec, flac and faac/faad programs.
jRipper can load track names for an CD from freedb.org by http or using the cdda2wav program.
It should work on all platforms that has the right java version (1.5). It has been tested on Linux and Windows XP. The installer contains static versions of cdda2wav, lame, oggenc, oggdec, flac, faac and faad for Linux and Windows.
Problems
Not all transcoding variants works. Known problems are:
AAC to Flac (linux, windows)
If jRipper cant be stopped during encoding, do kill the console program running in the background (cdda2wav, lame, ...).
Encoders
Some of the console applications have been modified to work better with jRipper. faac did get an extra quiet option which means it doesnt print anything to stderr. faad got a few extra fflush after prints to stderr. flac has some error checks canceled! It works for some degree but... So all source for the encoders are packed together for you to download. But its only the source nothing else, you have to do the compiling all by yourself.
Meta Tags
Meta tags are not converted when you do transcoding.
If an audio file can have meta tags, they will have the album and title data you see in the main window.
Installation:
- Install jRipper with clicking the jripper-install-2005.12.jar file.
- Or with the command java -jar jripper-install-2005.12.jar.
- After the install you can start jRipper with the icon on the desktop.
- If the installer failed to create an icon on the desktop or in the start menu, you can try the following ways:
- Double click jripper-2005.12.jar in the installation directory.
- Start it with java -jar jripper-2005.12.jar.
- Execute run.bat or run.sh.
To use jRipper you have to edit some settings in the setup dialog:
- Set the path to the encoder/decoder programs unless you have them already in the system path.
- Set the CD device.
- Typical values are /dev/cdrom for normal ide drives, 1,0,0 for SCSI or SCSI/IDE emulation.
- For SCSI settings run cdda2wav -scanbus as root or as a normal user in windows from a console to get a list of available drives.
- Set the root destination folder for your encoded tracks.
Enhancements:
- A minor Java 1.6 incompatibility was fixed.
- jRipper can dump a multi track CD to a single track (with an optional cue sheet).
- Two more directory layout options were added.
- All the ripper programs (for Windows) were updated.
- A few internal tweaks were made.

Witty CD Player is a cd player program that uses cdda2wav for software buffering.

I started having problems with my CD-ROM drive skipping badly on every audio track for several months. At the same time, I wanted to try my hand at GTK. So, I decided to write the "The Witty CD Player." (The name is a play on my last name The Witty CD Player uses the cdda2wav program to perform oversampling to account for the skips.

Rip is a command-line based audio CD track ripper and MP3, FLAC, or Ogg Vorbis encoder. I would believe that you probably already have all required tools on your system. Perhaps, even the CDDB/CDDB_get and MP3::Info perl modules. However, not everyone will have them installed by their distribution, therefore, I have included a tarball of these modules in my releases. You can get them on your own as well. Just thought Id save you the trouble. Installation notes for those packages can be found in the file README.
You only need one of bladeenc, lame, notlame, or gogo if you plan to rip to MP3 an is likely that you already have one of those. If you plan to rip to Ogg Vorbis, you will need the *newest* version of oggenc installed. Likewise, if you want to rip to FLAC, you will need flac installed on your system.
For CD track ripping, Ill be amazed if cdparanoia isnt on your system by default (assuming you run Linux). Otherwise there is always cdda2wav. I will further be amazed if perl isnt on your system by default. So, likely all you might need to install, other than rip, is CDDB/CDDB_get and MP3::Info. Those go in pretty easily. Read the README for more information and detailed notes.
Enhancements:
- (1) Grrr. This time for sure. Fix the $#%@! quote problem when tagging ogg vorbis files. Why exactly did ogg developers decide it would be a "good idea" if tagging was done on the command-line where shells could screw up special chars left, right, and sideways. Anyway, about a dozen different "fixes" patching this problem came into
- my inbox. I think I have done one that will leave special chars (like those german us) alone but also not screw up on a filename with in it. We shall see how I fare this time. No credit is going anywhere on this one but it sure was nice to have several patch possiblities to choose from. Thanks to everyone who gave this some thought. Hopefully I dont have to go near this one again.
- (2) Another thing people have been beating me over the head about since I started this is whether files should be named using " " or "_" for white-space. Now theres a flag to turn on and off the use of underscores while renaming files. Note that now you need to use -n/--nounderscore if you do not want underscores in filenames, even if you are using -f/--format. Marco von Loon finally motivated me on this one.
- (3) No longer append extension to rip temp file because it is useless and because when you loop over many CDs, the while loop causes the appension of the extension multiple times unless you move it to a very odd part of the code. Thanks to Kevin Mulholland.
- (4) No longer remove "-" from dir and file names. Just got a little overzealous removing special chars from names that would cause crashes otherwise. Oh w ll.A
- Thanks to Marco von Loon.
- (5) Kevin Lester caught a rare bug: if the CDDB entry is the empty string for some tracks, the parse logic goes into an infinite loop. properNameList is now checked for "" and replaces it with "Unknown".
- (6) Russel Smith was first to notice that the "-o" flag needs to be appended to the end of the flag list. As the code that did this work was a patch and not something I tested, this problem has been around for a while. Good thing someone is actually using flac and noticed. Tai Lee suggests removing the stdin "-" flag entirely. Anyone know if that is a good idea on all platforms?
- (7) Mike Irwin noticed that $dev from ~/.riprc on the first run causes problems and should be tested.
- (8) Playlists are now created relative to the inital directory you ran rip from. Though he didnt have it quite right, this too was motivated by Marco von Loon.

tsrip is an audio CD ripping and encoding solution. tsrip project supports free codecs, gets album information from the musicbrainz database, and has a simple-to-use command-line user interface.

Autofs CD Changer is a patch for autofs. It automatically changes the slots and remounts cds as needed giving the impression that they are all simultaneously mounted. Its not for much use if you use multisession stuff, but works fine for mp3 lists that span many cds.
