rip is a Perl script that coordinates ripping, encoding, and labeling of audio CD tracks to music files on Unix-like systems like Linux. Current releases support encoding to FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, and MP3.
[edit] Dependencies
rip uses a few tools including:
- CDDB_get, used to retrieve album information from CDDB
- cdparanoia, used to extract the raw CD data into WAV files
- An audio encoder such as oggenc (for encoding to Ogg Vorbis), flac (for encoding to FLAC), or LAME (for encoding to MP3)
