CD Ripping with abcde

Setup

A good command line CD ripper for ogg & mp3 is abcde which can be found at www.SlackBuilds.org. abcde needs cd-discid, so install this first.

You probably have to add yourself to the group cdrom. Look at the group of the device file to which /dev/cdrom or alternatively /dev/dvd points to. Configuration is done in /etc/abcde.conf or in ~/.abcde

KDE provides kaudiocreator as a graphical alternative to abcde. But for me, abcde works just better out of the box.

For encoding mp3 instead of ogg (eg. with abcde), your need 'lame' from linuxpackages. To tag mp3 files you need id3lib also from linuxpackages.

Usage

Options

-o filetype	Select output type(s) comma-delimited, eg. ogg,mp3,flac,spx
-k	Keep the wav files after encoding
-C	resume a session for discid when you no longer have the CD available
-n	Do not query CDDB database
-x	Eject the CD when all tracks have been read
-T	Start the numbering of the tracks at a given number
-W number	Concatenate CDs
-p	Pads track numbers with 0's

Concatenate Autiobooks

Use this options: abcde -x -n [-o ogg,mp3] -W <discnumber>
Make CDDB stub file containing Artist, Album, Year, Genre eg:
```
DTITLE=Stephenie Meyer / Biss zur Mittagsstunde
DYEAR=2006
DGENRE=Audiobook
```
(For mp3, you must use Speech instead of Audiobook)
Delete everything below the line beginning with DISCID= and paste stub file into vim prompt below the line beginning with DISCID=
After ripping: rename .. . *.ogg *.mp3
Use sbtracktagger 'Biss zur Mittagsstunde' *.ogg to tag the tracks with book name and chapter number

Troubleshooting

Sometimes default ripper application cdparaoia fails to rip tracks. You can use cdda2wav instead by creating ~/.abcde with this content:

CDROMREADERSYNTAX=cdda2wav
CDDA2WAV=cdda2wav
