/////RIPPON! version 0.08 /////Alex's CD Ripping Script ############################ ### PACKAGE REQUIREMENTS ### ############################ * CD-Tool: This package provides more than just the database, (hey, if I wanted that, I would have used Workman) it provides lots of neat command-line interfaces to the CD-ROM drive. * Sources available at: ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/sound/cdrom/cli/ * Debian package: cdtool * CD-DISCID: This (small) program gives easy access to the offset information on a disc, as well as the number of tracks. Since these numbers are used as keys in the CD-Tool/Workman database, it's vital to have access to this. * Sources/binaries available at: http://frantica.lly.org/~rcw/cd-discid/ * Debian package: cd-discid * CD Paranoia: This is the best ripping program that I have encountered (to date). Not to mention the only one I know how to use... * Sources/binaries/docs/whatever available at: http://www.xiph.org/paranoia/ * Debian package: cdparanoia (plus dependencies) * Lame: A pretty good MP3 encoder. Also the only one I can use. :-) * Sources available at: http://www.sulaco.org/mp3/ (requires other files, see web page for details) * Binaries available at: http://hive.me.gu.edu.au/not_lame/ * No Debian package for this is available, an oversight that should be corrected by someone... * Workman: *OPTIONAL* The originator of the database format that is used by RIPPON! Unfortunately, I can't make this program "work", so I don't know if it's any good or not. Its environmental variable WORKMANDBPATH is checked for compatibility, but little else is done with Workman. * Sources available at: ftp://ftp.midwinter.com/WorkMan/workman-1.3.4.tar.gz * Debian package: workman * ID3: The ID3 v1.1 tagger. A nice program. * Sources available at: http://frantica.lly.org/~rcw/id3/ * Debian package: id3 * ID3v2: The ID3 v2 tagger. A *really* nice program. * Sources available at: http://id3v2.sourceforge.net/ * Debian package: id3v2 * MP3::ID3v1Tag: The Perl-based ID3 v1.1 tagging module. I hope to use its ID3 v2 counterpart in the near future. :-) * Sources available from CPAN * No known Debian package * Term::ANSIColor: A Perl module for displaying colors on the console. * Sources available from CPAN * Debian package: libansicolor-perl * Term::ReadKey: A Perl module for changing the keyboard mode/reading keypresses. * Sources available from CPAN * Debian package: libterm-readkey-perl
