getcd

A small script to rip and encode audio from a CD.


Synopsis

./getcd.sh [-t(m|f|o|w)] [-p path] [-e encoder] [-c cddbitem] [-h]
   [-I interface] [-D device] [-v[v|0]] [-q] [-s]
   [--help] [--encoding=(m|f|o|w)] [--encoder=(lame|bladeenc)]
   [--path=<string>] [--interface=(cooked_ioctl|generic_scsi)]
   [--device=<string>]


Description


Options


     -h | --help : online help
              -v : set verbosity level.
              -q : make the script silent. Equivalent to -v0
 -t | --encoding : encoding type
     -p | --path : base path
  -e | --encoder : encoder
              -c : CDDB entry selection

-I | --interface : specifies cdda2wav interface to use
   -D | --device : specifies device to use with cdda2wav.
              -s : sampler indicator


Verbosity settings (-v)


-v0 : disable all output
 -v : be more verbose

-vv : enables debug


Encoding type (-t | --encoding)

You can specify either m for encoding to mp3 using lame, or f for making
lossless encoding using flac, or o for making ogg/vorbis, or w for
uncompressed wav.  Omitting this results in encoding to flac. Mp3s will be
placed under a subfolder mp3 and flacs under a subfolder flac.


Base path (-p | --path)

Specifies the path to save the encoded data.
Defaults to the users home directory.


Encoder (-e | --encoder)

Specifies the mp3 encoder to use. Valid encoders are actually:


lame
bladeenc


Defaults to lame.


CDDB entry selection (-c)

Specifies the CDDB-Entry to use.

Sometimes there is more than 1 entry for a cd in cddb.  Then you can specify
wich one to use by this option. You can checkout all entries using cddb.pl.


Cdda2wav interface selection (-I | --interface)

Valid interfaces are generic_scsi and cooked_ioctl.  Please note that
cooked_ioctl is not available on all systems. Defaults to cooked_ioctl
if device begins with /dev else to generic_scsi


Cdda2wav device selection (-D | --device)

All values that are valid for cdda2wav are valid here.

Defaults to /dev/cdrom


sampler indicator (-s)

If set indicates that this disk contains various artists (is a sampler). In
this case the artist is written in the title information of cddb most likely.
Giving this option the script will show a title list and give the oppotunity
to enter a delimiting string so that title and artist information can be split
properly and fill the mp3id or whatever correctly.
