I have some imperfect CDs (scratches, copies) that VortexBox cannot rip completely. I've had the ripper hang for more than an hour trying to rip some tracks. I have no alternative but to stop the ripper, and I'm left with an incompletely ripped CD. Restarting the ripper does no good; the ripper hangs at the same track every time. To solve the problem, I have installed crip (http://bach.dynet.com/crip) on my VortexBox. Crip is an excellent command-line ripper that allows a) ripping selected tracks b) ripping a track with reduced error checking if a rip hangs. I listen to all tracks ripped with reduced error checking to see if I can hear any glitches; most times I cannot. If you don't want to include these capabilities in the VortexBox ripper, perhaps you can include crip (packaged as an rpm) in the 1.0 release. -- Ron Olsen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ron Olsen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9233 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72695 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
