I don't have a lot of free disk space on any of my systems, or
a media-player like an iPod. In the past I've ripped
the odd CD, just so I could have the songs with me, without
having to actually have the actual CD.
At work I listen to the odd ripped CD, just so I don't
have to cart the CDs back and forwards between home and work.
Even at work, I don't have that much disk space, so even with
an aggressive compression setting in ogg, it's not a lot of
songs.
Today I thought I'd give a try at ripping an audio
CD on Linux. In the past I've always used CDex
a nice open-source windows tool. cdparanoia seems
to do a good job of extracting the audio data to raw files,
and oggenc seems to be
quite happy to compress them. Seems very simple and civilised
- though it would be nice to have an automatic freedb look up...
