[Freevo-devel] Re: [Freevo-users] ripping interface?
Paul, for .mp3s I see that Lame can tag with ID3V2, I'm assuming this is the same functionality that the id3v2.py module has.? If so, it's probably easier for me to just add the tagging into the Lame commandline that i execute. My module is now almost useable, but I've got to clean up some of the menuing and plugin stuff I'm doing since it was just kind of copied from another module and kludged in and I'm not exactly sure how the whole menuing/plugin-in features of freevo work yet. Also, i need to figure out how to select among the CD drives if there is more than one on the PC -at the moment I just hardcoded selecting the one thats in my computer (.config.REMOVABLE_MEDIA[1]). If anyone has any advice on the above I'd appreciate it. Lastly, I also need to figure out how to show some sort of status bar to show the ripping progress. cdparanoia and lame report a text progress bar/%done, I can probably parse that somehow to drive a status bar within Freevo.

I'm sure that whatever happens with encoding, it'll involve either pipes or some other way of specifying how to encode. The big problem is tagging; we have Python libraries for writing Ogg and ID3v2.4 tags, but I haven't seen anything for FLAC.

At the moment I've been ripping manually and storing as .wavs. I'd like to use flac at some point, but I'm not sure how to play them on the framebuffer. I understand Mplayer can use xmms plugins and that xmms has a flac plugin but I havent tried this. I dont have the skill to implement this into Freevo, and understand that most people will want lossy compression. In that case, if its not too much trouble I would appreciate it if there could be an local_config.py option just to rip to wav's so that they could be compressed from an ssh connection using flac or left as wavs which freevo already handles.

I have a plugin that can rip a CD to the hard drive as a .wav at the moment (next step, tonight probably, will be converting it to .mp3). It is capable of pulling the CDDB info for the CD and using this info to write the .wav files to your audio directory. -Rich --- Brian Lalor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Aubin Paul wrote: Yes, it's definitely something I'd like to see (and may have to do myself :) but I currently don't have a Freevo machine with a ROM drive.

Do it how it works best for you, and I'll add an optional id3v2 layer if I need it.

I think we're going to make a GUI element to do that, so just parse it and we'll attach the GUI element later...

Look at detach.py under audio/plugins * uh, I'm sure there were more... :-P Here's one; we should add tagging. I recently updated the id3v2 parsing library in Freevo and it happens to include the ability to write tags as well. I would suggest id3v2 as default because it's not as horrible limited as id3v1 tags. Aubin --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The best thread debugger on the planet.

A database may be an option, since we use Twisted now for the web stuff and it supports Pgsql nicely.
