RipIT is used to create MPEG-1 Layer 3 (mp3) using Lame, or uses Flac (flac), Ogg Vorbis (ogg) or Faac (m4a) to convert audio files (wav) extracted from an audio CD. It is a console based front-end (no GUI here), written in Perl, for various programs. The program will do the following without user intervention: * getting the audio CD Album/Artist/Tracks information from CDDB * ripping the audio CD Tracks * encoding to Flac, mp3 or Ogg * id3 tags encoded songs * creating an playlist (m3u) file * optionally generating a toc (cue) sheet for nice DAO burning * optionally preparing and send a CDDB submission and save it locally * optionally extracting hidden songs and split ghost songs * optionally creating md5sum files for all tracks * running several encoder processes at the same time and same run WWW: http://www.suwald.com/ripit/news.php
