RipIT is used to create MPEG-1 Layer 3, Ogg Vorbis, Flac, Faac or Wav (mp3/ogg/flac/m4a/wav) audio files from an audio CD. It runs in text mode, with no fancy graphical user interface.
This Perl script makes it a lot easier to create mp3 files from an audio CD. It tries to find the artist and song titles with the CDDB_get.pm. Users can also submit and edit CDDB entries @ freedb.org. Hidden tracks and ghost songs are detected and split into chunks of sound, a toc (cue) file permits to burn the wavs with text and no gaps in Disc at Once (DAO) mode.
Features include:
- Gets the audio CD Album/Artist/Tracks information from CDDB
- Rips the audio CD Tracks (using cdparanoia or other cdrippers)
- Encodes the files (using LAME, oggvorbis flac and/or faac)
- ID3 tag them (v1 & v2)
- Creates a playlist (M3U) file (lists MP3s created, used by various MP3 players)
- Prepares and sends a CDDB submission
- Saves the CDDB file
- Creates a toc (cue) file to burn a CD in DAO with text
- Anaylze the wavs for gaps and splits them into chunks
- Merges wavs for gapless encoding
- Creates a md5sum for each type of sound files
- Normalizes the wavs before encoding
