RipIT
RipIT is a command line program for ripping, encoding, and tagging MP3s that needs no user intervention. It is a wrapper for dagrab, cdparanoia, cdda2wav, LAME, Ogg Vorbis, Flac, Faac, Musepack, and mp4als. It supports the retrieval and submission of CDDB and MusicBrainz entries.

Changes: This version solves a somehow persistent bug in which encoder qualities were not read out from the configuration file. Furthermore, the configuration file should not be overwritten during installation.
- 28 Nov 2009 08:58
Changes: Ghost songs can now get their names if the track names contain a slash separating the track and the ghost song. Some minor bugs in cd.toc generation were fixed.
- 28 Nov 2009 08:57
Changes: RipIT now supports the use of musicbrainz for tagging the files and formats like Musepack and mp4als. Options were added for managing the process in cases where no DB entry is found or discs are already ripped. Only spans of tracks may be ripped and when done, a command may be executed. With the --book option, all tracks are ripped into one m4b file and a chapter mark file is created. In addition to a cd.toc file, an inf file can be created for burning sound files with CD-Text.

Changes: Beside 2 new options (normcmd to specify the command for normalize and uppercasefirst to change each word to first letter uppercase), many other options have been enhanced. The same encoder can be chosen more than once to encode the same format at different qualities. Of course, the options dirtemplate and tracktemplate accept more variables to ensure different directory names for each kind of encoding. The option ghost has been improved and tries to delete very short empty tracks. The option paranoia now has one more switch to allow normal ripping (with paranoia), and in case of failure retries once without.

Changes: This version fixes the genre feature of LAME 3.98. Update is only needed when using LAME 3.98 or newer.

Wish list
ripit is a great tool, but it could be made even
nicer. Mostly around parallelism/performance.
It'd be great to:
- rip the previous track while extacting the next
(the former is CPU-intensive, while the
latter is IO-intensive, so they should co-exist
nicely)
- play a track once its ripped (optionally)
- rip N tracks at once on an N-processor system
I have a much dummer script I've used in the
past to rip N tracks at once, and even on a 2-cpu
system it's really nice, but on a 12-processor
Sun server it totally rocks! :-)
Oh yeah!
I just have to say that RipIt is the slickest thing I've seen in a long time. Truely fire-and-forget CD Ripping
