short question: is CDparanoia still the standard for
ripping /
encoding music? (xiph.org/paranoia was last updated in 2001)
more rambling: I want to protect my cd collection from destruction and
make use of an older computer by outfitting it with a large hard disk
and devote it to storing my music collection. I want to make a script
that more or less automatically rips a CD to my preferences. So I
want a command line CD ripper.
cdparanoia still seems to be the standard (grip, the GTK-based ripper,
has a builtin cdparanoia by default)
The "grand" vision: to eventually make a
low res GUI that displays on
a small LCD or TV to rip music and navigate the music library.
Look around on freshmeat.net, there may be already be something out
there that does this.
Specifically what i would want is to have attractive
buttons that call
other programs and some sort of basic file browser capability. What
do you think would be the smartest (easiest) language and packages to
do this with?
I'd use Perl or Python with one of the many GUI packages available for
these languages. But like I said, there is probably something already
available that does what you want.
