RIPPERX(1) General Commands Manual RIPPERX(1)NAME
ripperX -- graphical (GTK) frontend for ripping and OGG/FLAC/MP3 encoding CD tracks
SYNOPSIS
ripperX
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the ripperX command.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
ripperX is an X-based program that uses cdparanoia to convert (i.e. "rip") CD audio tracks to WAV files, and then calls the Vorbis/Ogg
encoder oggenc to convert the WAV to an OGG file. It can also call flac to perform loss-less compression on the WAV file, resulting in a
FLAC file.
Alternately, if you have an MP3 encoder installed such as toolame lame or bladeenc, it can then convert the WAV into a MP3 file.
Besides a nice GUI interface, ripperX also supports CDDB queries to retrieve song and album information, progress meters, and pausing while
ripping.
OPTIONS
This program takes no command line arguments. After starting the application, select the Config button and cycle through the tabs to learn
what options are configurable.
Because Vorbis/Ogg typically uses variable bit rates, there is not a direct correlation between the bitrate selected for encoding and the
rate used by oggenc. The bitrates selected in the MP3 tab of the Configuration dialog are passed to oggenc with the -b switch. Enabling
or disabling VBR when using Vorbis/Ogg has no effect on the encoding process.
The FLAC encoding currently does not accept any bitrate arguments, so any bitrate you specify in the config dialog will be ignored for this
type of encoding.

ogginfo(1) Vorbis Tools ogginfo(1)NAME
ogginfo - gives information about Ogg files, and does extensive validity checking
SYNOPSIS
ogginfo [ -q ] [ -v ] [ -h ] file1.ogg ... fileN.ogg
DESCRIPTION
ogginfo reads one or more Ogg files and prints information about stream contents (including chained and/or multiplexed streams) to standard
output. It will detect (but not correct) a wide range of common defects, with many additional checks specifically for Ogg Vorbis streams.
For all stream types ogginfo will print the filename being processed, the stream serial numbers, and various common error conditions.
For Vorbis streams, information including the version used for encoding, the sample rate and number of channels, the bitrate and playback
length, and the contents of the comment header are printed.
Similarly, for Theora streams, basic information about the video is provided, including frame rate, aspect ratio, bitrate, length, and the
comment header.
OPTIONS -h Show a help and usage message.
-q Quiet mode. This may be specified multiple times. Doing so once will remove the detailed informative messages, twice will remove
warnings as well.
-v Verbose mode. At the current time, this does not do anything.

Hello everyone, I've made a script and I want to share and get new ideas for improving it. So far, the script
1. Searches a directory tree for MP3 files;
2. Check their bitrates;
3. Change any bitrate higher than 128 kbps to VBR 4
(It ignores files with a bitrate lower or equal to 128, as... (3 Replies)
