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.

YARET(1) User Commands YARET(1)NAME
YaRET - Yet another Ripper Encoder Tagger
SYNOPSIS
yaret [options]
yaret [--help|--version|--option_only]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the yaret command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original pro-
gram does not have a manual page.
YaRET is a Perl script that automates the ripping, normalization, and encoding of CDs. It supports CDDB very well via the Perl Audio::CD
module, and also can work with your favorite ripper/normalizer/encoder (e.g., cdparanoia, cdda2wav, normalize, etc.) It supports useful
features like multiple concurrent encoders and an easy to use configuration file that lets you customize YaRET to your taste (such as file
naming based on the CDDB information).
Please see your ~/.yaretrc file (auto-generated at the first time execution) as well as the /usr/share/doc/yaret/README and yaretrc files
that came with YaRET (perhaps located in /usr/share/yaret/dot-yaretrc) for more information about configuring the many features that YaRET
comes with.
OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is
included below.
[General]
-h, --help
Display this help (also -?)
-v, --version
Display the version
--option_only
Display configuration data
-f, --include=<file>
Include this file as configuration data (in addition to ~/.yaretrc and any command line options) (also --conf_file)
--cddb_file=<file>
Include this CDDB information in addition to that obtained from the CDDB query (in same format as both --cddb_dump and --cddb_out
produce)
--max_fork=<value>
Maximum number of normalizers and encoders forked (per type)
--size_order
Sorts tracks in order of size, completing smaller ones first.
[Display]
--date Display the start/end times
--color
Use color
--alarm
Send beeps when completed
--clear
Clear the screen
--quiet
Do not display anything except errors
[Paths and Filenames]
--root_final=<path>
Where to place the results
--root_work=<path>
Where to work on the results
--output_name=<pattern>
How to name the final file
--output_path=<pattern>
Path under root_final to place file
--output_track_num_format=<format>
Specifies a printf format for the track numbering, e.g. "%02d"
--output_trans=<regexp>
Specifies a regular expression that effects the output of what filename is generated, e.g. "tr/ /_/"
[CDDB Overrides]
--global==<attr>=<val>
e.g. ARTIST=Bare Naked Ladies (Make sure to use escapes or quotes) (also --cddb_global)
--track==<tracknum>=[<attr>=<val> ]*
e.g. 14=TRACK=Alone ARTIST=Heart (Make sure to use escapes or quotes)
--cddb_dump=<file>
Dump cddb information to <file> then exit (no editing, encoding, etc.)
--cddb_out=<pattern>
After the entire process is completed, output the cddb information to <pattern>. This filename works with the same pattern rules as
the other output files, however some keyword may may not be available. The information saved will reflect any editing.
--confirm
Confirm cddb information (also --cddb_confirm) Use --noconfirm to turn off.
[Ripper]
-r, --ripper=<label>
Which ripper to use (cdparanoia and cddawav have already been defined) (also --ripper_use)
--ripper_command==<label>=<command>
The <command> associated with <label>
-d, --device=<device>
CDROM Device to use, default is /dev/cdrom (also --ripper_device)
--skip=<tracknumlist>
Skip these tracks, e.g. 3,10-13 (also --ripper_skip)
--auto_skip=<seconds>
Auto skip tracks that do not grow after <seconds> (also --ripper_auto_skip)
--min_space=<megabytes>
Do not start ripping a new track unless this much space is free (also --ripper_min_space)
--ripper_nice=<nice>
Nice the ripper process to <nice>
[Normalize]
--normalize=<label>
As --ripper (normalize has already been defined)
--normalize_type=<value>
TRACK/ALBUM normalization, ALBUM uses a larger amount of work space, and cannot start working until all ripping is done.
--normalize_command==<label>=<command>
As --ripper_command
--normalize_nice=<nice>
As --ripper_nice
[Encoder]
-e, --encoder=<label>
As --ripper except you may enable multiple (but make sure you use the ENCODE keyword in --output options) (lame and bladeenc have
already been defined)
--encoder_command==<label>=<command>
As --ripper_command
--bitrate==<label>=<bitrate>
Set bitrate for <label> encoder (also --encoder_bitrate)
--quality==<label>=<quality>
Set quality for <label> encoder (also --encoder_quality)
--extension==<label>=<value>
Set extension for <label> encoder, default is ".mp3" (also --encoder_extension)
--encoder_nice=<nice>
As --ripper_nice
