grabcd is an audio CD ripping and encoding suite

== What does it do?

"grabcd-scan" reads a CD and lets you enter track information (I'm no

fan of CDDB as the data there is very limited - think of a hit sampler

CD with different artists, you can't have a different artist per

track).

"grabcd-rip" will then read the CD using icedax and start the encoding

via "grabcd-encode" (this will be done automatically).  You will get

OGG encoded files in a specified directory hierarchy.

== What's special about this?

grabcd-rip and grabcd-encode can run on different machines.  This was

essential for me when writing these scripts as my CD-ROM was in my

slow workstation while the server with the fast CPU had no CD-ROM.

== How to use it?

Generate a config file, either /etc/grabcd.conf for everyone or ~/.grabcd

for yourself.

This is an example for "everything local":

CDINFO_TEMP=/tmp/cdinfo

CDINFO_REMOTE=/mnt/storage/grabcd-scan

ENCODE_HOST=localhost

ENCODE_BINARY=/usr/bin/grabcd-encode

ENCODE_NICE=20

ENCODE_PATH=/mnt/storage/ogg

This is an example for "networked operation":

CDINFO_TEMP=/tmp/cdinfo

[email protected]:/home/mitch/ogg/grabcd-scan

[email protected]

ENCODE_BINARY=/home/mitch/bin/grabcd-encode

ENCODE_NICE=20

ENCODE_PATH=/home/mitch/ogg

== Configuration options

CDINFO_TEMP    - The artist/track data is temporarily stored here

CDINFO_REMOTE  - The artist/track data is archived here.  Useful if

                 you want to reread a CD later.  Just copy the

                 appropriate file to $CDINFO_TEMP and start grabcd-rip.

ENCODE_HOST    - Where to run grabcd-encode.  Set to empty or "localhost"

                 for local operation.  Set to a "hostname" or

                 "user@hostname" for remote operation.

ENCODE_BINARY  - Where to find the grabcd-encode binary.

ENCODE_NICE    - Nicelevel for grabcd-encode.

ENCODE_PATH    - Where to put the encoded files.

== Limitations

grabcd-scan and grabcd-rip always read from /dev/cdrom.  This is

because Audio::CD does not seem to have a configuration option for

this.  If icedax uses another device by default, you can set

$CDDA_DEVICE to the correct one.
