======= Ripping and Encoding using Grip =======

I use Grip http://freshmeat.net/projects/grip/. Here's my .grip file: [GripConfig]  This will produce output with the following file and directory characeristics.  It will also do a VBR encoding with a base level of 192Kbps.  Average size of an album is 100MB.

  *./artist/
  *playlist
  */album/
   *album-track_number-song_title.ogg

Note that all information will be lower case.  Song data will be saved internally to the file as normal upper/lower case text


**Rip:**
  *using built in cdparanoia
  *rip file format:        ~/mp3/%a/%d/%d-%t-%n.wav

**Encode:**
  */usr/bin/oggenc
  *command line            -b 192 -o %o -a "%A" -l "%d" -t "%n" %f
  *file format             ~/mp3/%a/%d/%d-%t-%n.ogg

**M3U:**
  *file format             ~/mp3/%a/%a-%d.m3u
  * %a


======= Ripping & Encoding Manually =======

**Manually Ripping An Audio CD**
<code>
cdrdao read-cd --remote 7 -v0 --read-raw --device 0,0,0 --driver generic-mmc:0x0 --paranoia-mode 3 --datafile /home/john/cdr/trance-domain.bin /home/john/cdr/trance-domain.toc
</code>


**Manually Copying an Audio CD from the Command Line**
<code>
cdrdao copy --device 0,0,0 --driver generic-mmc:0x0 --paranoia-mode 3 --datafile <filename.bin>
</code>

**Manually Ripping an Entire CD**
<code>
cdparanoia -B
</code>



**Manually Ripping a Single Song From a CD**
<code>
cdparanoia 5 output.wav (rip track 5, save to output.wav)
</code>

**Manually Encoding to ogg using notlame**
<code>
notlame -mj -V 1 -b 160 -S --ogg 21st\ Century\ Poem.wav 21st\ Century\ Poem.ogg
</code>
Note that this does not make infile data tagging.

======= Copying Audio CDs from Command Line in OS X =======

**unmount audio disk first**
<code>
disktool -u disk1 0
</code>

**Read from disc to file**
<code>
cdrdao read-cd --with-cddb --device IODVDServices --driver generic-mmc-raw -v 2 --datafile pw-01.bin pw-01.toc
</code>

**Write from file to disc**
<code>
cdrdao write --device IODVDServices --driver generic-mmc-raw -v 2 pw-01.toc
</code>

======= Other good CD/Music related programs =======
  ***gcombust** - gcombust is a GTK+ frontend for mksisofs and cdrecord.
  ***gcdmaster** - gcdmaster allows creation and editing of audio CD images in an easy to use GNOME environment. It can read audio CDs with jitter compensation for outstanding quality, add CD-TEXT and perform direct CD to CD copies.  gcdmaster is a graphical version of the cdrdao command-line utility.
