crip is a Perl script that coordinates ripping, encoding, and labeling of audio CD tracks to music files on Unix-like systems like Linux. Current releases support encoding to FLAC or Ogg Vorbis only, though earlier versions supported MP3. crip aims to automate CD extraction while still allowing complete control over the process. [1]
[edit] Dependencies
crip uses a few tools including:[2]
- CDDB_get, used to retrieve album information from CDDB
- cdparanoia, used to extract the raw CD data into WAV files
- An audio encoder such as oggenc (for encoding to Ogg Vorbis), flac (for encoding to FLAC), or LAME (for encoding to MP3)
- SoX, used to trim silence and/or normalize track volume (optional)
