Thought I could share this with you. I wanted CDs to automatically be ripped and added to Squeezebox Server when I inserted them into the pc.
I found this blog describing a method. http://sudocode.blogspot.com/2009/06/auto-rip-audio-cds-in-ubuntu-server.html This was a headless ubuntu server, whereas mine is a desktop machine so I could do it a bit simpler. I only used the CLI ripping program abcde (http://www.andrews-corner.org/abcde.html ) and a small script to start abcde and start a rescan on squeezebox server. Here is the small script Code: -------------------- /bin/echo -e "Riping CD to Squeezebox Server\n"; /bin/echo -e "Starting abcde\n"; abcde -N; /bin/echo -e "\n abcde finished.\n Exit status: " $? /bin/echo -e "\n" echo `date` "requesting squeezecenter rescan..." ( sleep 1; /bin/echo -e "rescan\r"; sleep 1; /bin/echo -e "exit\r"; sleep 1; ) | telnet localhost 9090 echo `date` "telnet exit status: " $? -------------------- When you insert a music CD in Ubuntu you are asked what you want to do with it. I selected that the script above would be executed every time a music cd was inserted. -- benlen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ benlen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21743 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71721 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
