* extraction of README:

CD-Ripper for RedHat-Linux 5.x/6.x requires: perl5, gogo, cdda2wav [optional: cdown, mp3info] (c) by nostromo@nostromo.fro.at / 09.Aug.1998 - revised: 02.May.2000 installation: just set right permissions, and execute cd_ripp3r with ./cd_ripp3r if perl isn't in /usr/bin/perl (to find out type: whereis perl) change the first line of cd_ripp3r and adjust the path to your system. make sure you have enough disk-space (appr. about 80MB) for the temporary .wav-file. mp3s will be stored into current directory in a directory named 'ArtistAlbum'. usage: nostromo#/home/nostromo> cd_ripp3r -h usage: /usr/local/bin/cd_ripp3r [flags] flag meaning -s x start_track -e x end_track -h this help-site none encode all tracks on CD [ http://nostromo.fro.at/nostromo -> DL -> software cd_ripp3r ] [ (c) by nostromo@nostromo.fro.at / 09.Aug.1998 ] if omitting start_track, all songs to end_track will be encoded. (i.e. "-e 3" -> [1, 2, 3]) if omitting end_track, all songs from start_track to <number_of_tracks> will be encoded. (i.e. "-s 8" -> [8, 9, 10] - assuming CD has 10 tracks) if omitting both, start_track and end_track, all songs will be encoded.

todo: * error-handling - done * looking for required software - done (mostly) * status-bar - done


* eXample of a cd_ripp3rV01-session, encoding a "L'Ame Mortelle"-CD (Tracks 1 to 2)
