- Introduction
cdmp3 uses cdparanoia to extract single tracks or even a whole CD and converts them on-the-fly into MP3 or Ogg Vorbis files. cdmp3 tries to get the disk's CDDB entry to include the tracks' titles in the file name, directory name and/or write it as meta tags into the sound file.
2. Installation
cdmp3 consists of a single perl script. Copy it to where ever you want it to reside, /usr/local/bin might be a good place. You might also want to create a symlink, named "cdogg", which points to cdmp3, so that by running cdogg, you preset cdmp3 to creating Ogg Vorbis files instead of MP3.
Additionally you will need the following packages depending on the command line arguments you give to cdmp3:
cdparanoia http://www.xiph.org/paranoia/ cdda2wav ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/ (package cdrtools) lame http://www.mp3dev.org/ oggenc http://www.vorbis.com (package vorbis-tools) CDDB_get perl module http://armin.emx.at/cddb/ bfr http://www.glines.org:8000/software/buffer.html
If you are running Debian, all these packages are provided by the Debian project itself or by third parties.
3. Using cdmp3
Just run cdmp3 with no arguments and it will use some default settings for
ripping. If you would like to have better control of what cdmp3 does and
what not, use
cdmp3 --help
If you have been using an earlier version of cdmp3 before, please look out for changes and additions to the command line syntax.
