tk_cdconverter

...is a small TCL/TK-frontend to rip a CD into a directory, convert this wav-files into mp3 or ogg-vorbis and sets some tags.

What's new:

07. February 2006:

• Version 0.3.1 is out: fix some bugs of version 0.3.0

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 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)
• 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

Only try out without installation:

• uncompress tk_cdconverter in this directory (tar -xvzf ./tk_cdconverter_x.x.tgz)
• cd ./tk_cdconverter
• run ./tk_cdconverter.tcl

  Installation

Installation is very easy:

• copy tk_cdconverter_x.x.tgz on a place you want (e.g. /usr/local/src)
• uncompress tk_cdconverter in this directory (tar -xvzf ./tk_cdconverter_x.x.tgz)
• cd ./tk_cdconverter
• run ./tk_install.tcl as root
• choice a place for the files and the start script

Thats all.

Now you can start the program with "tk_cdconverter"

Uninstallation

• cd /root/.tk_cdconverter
• run ./uninstall.tcl

Thats all.

Bugs

• nobody is perfect...bugreports, comments and opinions are very wellcome: tk_cdconverteratutanet.at

Future of tk_cdconverter:

• perhaps a rename tool???
• 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,
