tk_cdconverter
...is a TCL/TK-frontend to rip a CD into a directory, convert this wav-files into mp3/ogg-vorbis or lame and sets some tags.
What's new:
14. November 2006:
- Version 0.6.0 is out - add a cd present detection: no error message anymore if you forgot to put a cd in your cd-player
About tk_cdconverter:
The "philosophy" of tk_cdconverter is directory orientated:
- rip a Audio-CD into a directory
- convert this files into mp3/ogg-vorbis/flac in the same or into a 2nd directory
- add some tag-informations to all files in this directory (by using of the cd-text informations on the Audio-CD, ask the freedb-database or per hand)
Other interesting things:
- tk_cdconverter can rip a live CD into one file (without interruptions)
- include a tool to convert between different formats
- tk_cdconverter has also a function to change the file names by using the tag informations
- the installation script supports NetBSD
- tk_cdconverter is written in pure tcl/tk (no tcl/tk-extensions are required)
- a German translation of the program is available
The requirements:
- NetBSD or Linux
- tcl/tk > 8.4
- cdda2wav (part of the cdrtools)
- lame or ogg-vorbis tools or flac

- if you miss something or have your own ideas - you can do with the source code what ever you want (tcl/tk is a very easy programming language and I tried to comment the source code clearly)
I wish you a good time,
