Title: mp3 ripping
Post by: Steve on November 17, 2002, 02:07:59 AM

Does anyone have a solution or mini howto for ripping mp3's in console mode on e-smith.

Ideally would like to insert a cd and the rest be automated

I don't think you are going to get much of a response on that one from this forum. But for a basic linux solution you may want to search freshmeat.net

Thanks,

After many hours searching i managed it myself. I asked here because most solution required compiling and my boxes arent setup for that.

Not being an audophile or upto date with mp3, i suspect binaries arent available due to mp3 patents or licensing.

I ended up with dagrab for ripping and gogo for encoding (found a really out of date i386.rpm but seems to work ok)

Now no need to tie up or grind to a halt my windoze desktop.

Any chance you can get gother a list of what rpms you loaded to get things going,
I have a need for exactly that.  

How are you playing the mp3's ??

May be able to return the favour above.

Gavin

Used the following rpm's

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        17996 Feb 19  2000 dagrab-0.3.5-1.i386.rpm
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       107366 Jul  3  2000 gogo-2.35-1.i386.rpm

As i said a more upto date gogo would be better if anyone has one. dagrab includes a script to rip/encode a whole cd. I modified the script to 192kb/s

I use edna - which is a small web server written in python runs on the e-smith box and plays via browser/winamp on any windows box. Also via a windows  box/samba to my two dell audio receivers.

All on SME 5.6 (early beta) ext 3 file system currently up

 8:11pm  up 50 days,  3:12,  1 user,  load average: 1.19, 1.06, 1.01

Only because i havent booted it.


HTH

Steve.

Can you send the rpm's you have as I don't want to reinvent the wheel.
