[...] I wrote two perl scripts for this. "rip" pulls music from my IDE DVD drive (it's faster than the CD-RW) and puts it into a directory. It uses AudioCD::FreeBSD to read the track information from the disc and CDDB.pm to fetch titles and other information from freedb.org. It rips the songs with dagrab and finally deposits a control file describing the songs. "encode" is the second program. It periodically scans the ripped music directory for control, invoking lame to convert songs to mp3 after new discs are ripped. Running lame from a second process lets me rip discs as fast as I can. Unfortunately my AudioCD::FreeBSD module still hasn't been included in AudioCD's CPAN distribution. The tarball (rip, encode, and a local copy of AudioCD::FreeBSD) is at http://www.newts.org/~troc/perl/rip-and-encode.tar.gz CDDB can be downloaded from the CPAN. -- Rocco Caputo / troc@netrus.net / poe.perl.org / poe.sourceforge.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the messagehome | help
