Hi, I seem to have hit a wall here... I want to do an mp3 ripper for Mac
OSX, which I thought would be a simple enough project, but it's getting
more complicated. The OS automatically mounts cd's in a /Audio CD
directory as aiff files. I thought this would make things easy as I could
just write a front end which needed no CD access and could just work with
the files. However, it turns out that they are actually AIFC files. This
has caused me some problems as lame, sox, and anything else I can find
cannot deal with AIFC. So I went back to the drawing board and planned to
just access the cdrom and rip the tracks off, however I've learned that
for some reason, OSX set's the cd device to root read only. Now this makes
absolutely no sense to me, but at least they do state that this "may
change" in the future. So the up shot is, if I want this to be available
as an end user product, I can't access the cdrom directly at this time.
So I'm back to square 1, how can I go from AIFC to MP3? I have no real
experience with sound file formats and I really just want to write a front
end which uses tools written by people who know a lot more than me such as
lame :) Any tips are appreciated.
