Long tedious explanation of why this is problematic for new users follows. I'm trying to rip on a Toshiba laptop, IDE drive. I tried ripit before the prior message, and it failed. The main problem is this: the xmcd port has been upgraded to version 3.0.2 by kris, for security reasons. The toc file output in the new version looks like this. pedicular~;more /tmp/cdtoc.cdrom Disc ID: rock 9110da0a * Noise Unit / Decoder 01 06:00 Bahnhof* 02 07:54 Innerchaos* 03 06:12 Protector* 04 08:40 Paradise (Dis)* 05 05:17 Firing Line* 06 08:36 Escape* 07 07:10 Elixure* 08 09:38 Biosphere* 09 06:21 Ascent* 10 06:06 Falling* Total Time: 71:56 pedicular~; The new version has output that looks like this: Genre: Rock -> General Rock * Front Line Assembly / Tactical Neural Implant 01 06:03 Final Impact* 02 05:51 The Blade* 03 05:04 Mindphaser* 04 05:46 Remorse* 05 05:26 Bio-Mechanic* 06 05:23 Outcast* 07 06:22 Gun* 08 05:09 Lifeline* Total Time: 45:06 Note the lack of a "Disc ID" line. (Yes, I know, different albums, but you get the idea.) ripit.pl specifically requires this "Disc ID" line. Joe Doofus (i.e., me) doesn't want to spend much time on this; he just wants to shove a CD into the tray, type "ripit", and have everything labeled and ready to go in nice directories stored by artist and album name. I might be wrong, but it appears that 4.4 will be shipping without a means of doing this. The methods other people described work, but not prettily. (dd piped to lame wins on general coolness, by the way, although I got a lot of noise doing that.) Now, ripit.pl has been upgraded to version 2.0, which seems to require CDDB_get, which doesn't appear to work on FreeBSD. I don't think we're going to get fixes to the current ported version. Just thought you'd like to know. My next column is going to have quite an MP3 adventure in it after all this... -- Michael Lucas mwlucas@blackhelicopters.org http://www.blackhelicopters.org/~mwlucas/ Big Scary Daemons: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/q/Big_Scary_Daemons To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
