I've done something similar. My current ripping "solution" is a collection of shell and Perl scripts that wrap cdparanoia, flac and a bunch of other utilities. It's a bit of mess right now, and has parts that are hard-coded to my preferences (one file per track, encoder options, etc.) and may not do what others want. However, it works well enough for me and supports AccurateRip, test-and-copy ripping in both burst and paranoia modes, cue sheet extraction with cdrdao, tagging with MusicBrainz data, ReplayGain, Amazon album art, and hidden track one audio. The whole thing has no GUI, is automatic and generally runs unattended except for changing discs. One day I'll clean it up, but other more important things (work, family, etc.) are taking up my time right now. :-/ That said, one could use abcde and implement any additional features (possibly with other scripts). This is what I did originally, but eventually it was easier just to hack something together myself that did exactly what I wanted. -- perilsensitive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ perilsensitive's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39338 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80452 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
