I found one that worked very well. Set it up so I just put a CD in when it popped out and then when it was done it would pop out again. Only problem was when the CD wasn't in the freedb database. I tweaked it a little for the file names and did have a little trouble with quoting. http://rip.sourceforge.net/ If I did it headless, I'd have it make a noise when it didn't find the CD in the database. I ran it in this loop: while true do until /usr/bin/setcd -i | grep 'Disc found in drive' do echo "Waiting for CD ..." # play /home/gsker/waitingforcd.wav sleep 5 done rip -F -c -T -S -f %N_%S -d /dev/scd0 play /usr/share/freeciv/stdsounds/gong10.wav done But rip actually has an option (-M) to rip many CDs by looping through the script. Probably asks you a question at the end of each. http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/setcd.html http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/setcd/setcd_1.5.orig.tar.gz -- Gerry Skerbitz gsker at tcfreenet.org On Tue, 28 Dec 2004, Troy.A Johnson wrote: > No, but I would be interested if you > found something that works well. :-) >>>> John Meier <john.meier at gmail.com> 12/28/04 10:26 AM >>> > Hey all - > this probably has been asked before, but I couldn't find any thing > when I searched the list archives. > I'd like to plop in a cdrom on one of my headless boxes and have it > rip and encode (ogg or flac) then eject the cdrom and wait for the > next. > I have been playing with abcde, but haven't found a way to make this > all automatic.... anyone ever accomplish anything like this before? _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
