Summary:
Easy to use CD ripper

Area:
???


Description:
I can not get the built in CD-ripper to work - and CDSlayer crashes
It would be really nice to have a CD-ripper with high WAF (the way it is now is VERY CLUMSY)

I would like it to be as simple as CDSlayer, but use LAME;
MENU
- My music
- My Videoes
- My Plugins
-- RIP CD
--------- Rip CD now? [YES] [NO]


What do you think? Anybody who feels the can make this happen?

Maybe be able to select songs, because you don't always want to rip the whole CD...

 

[Spragleknas]

Well, given the size an album takes vs. size of modern HDD's - that would not be a priority to me - but sure it would be a nice touch.

Easy accessibility (today: VERY clumsy) and good SQ (ogg?) is what I consider important.

I'd like to write a little something that could solve this problem for you. Can you elaborate a little more on what you mean by simple and exactly what formats you would want to be able to encode into? Obviously, I'll implement freedb or CDDB support for naming the tracks.

I can't make any 100% guarantees, but I'm pretty sure I can throw something like this together relatively quickly.

EXCELLENT!
I am giving you full freedom as to what should be included (Personally I only need ability to rip the hole album, considering the small amount of space needed.

I good start would perhaps be to make the CD slayer plugin work? Yuo can try it with older versions of MP.

Anyway:
My "requests":
- Rip to .OGG or MP3 (does not matter to me, but I read that ogg-vorbis gives better quality/size).
- Rip whole album - one click.
( - Select songs to rip - THDBASED's reqest)

CDSlayer appears to use the library Ripper.DLL. I can't seem to find where that came from and therefore don't know if I have permission to redistribute it. I'm going to continue but before I can release this I need to find out what the license is on it.

Actually I've found that the original author apparently also wrote that library. I'm assuming that since no license was specified that it falls under the GPL like MediaPortal. Is that correct?

 

[Spragleknas]

I'm sorry.... I have no idea other than what is stated in above links and DL-ed files...

I thought all plugins were GBU GPL... try asking i-loop or other team members. (Hwahrmann could be a good idea?).

Also: Try posting in the CDSlayer thread. Perhaps the author reads it sometimes...

EDIT: I remember ronilse had a look at it (and hwahrmann - as you can see in thread), so you could ask him as well. Perhaps asking in IRC would be a good idea?

Good news! After fixing the references and recompiling, it seems to be working minus the fact that I can't find where it's actually ripping to . That may be the only thing wrong with it.

Actually, I just found it. It's ripping to some weird directory in the MP folder. Anyway, easy fix there.
