Rubyripper [Linux]: A handy comprehensive synopsis of command-line ins, synopsis of command-line instructions for Rubyripper Options

[shantiq]

In Linux we have Rubyripper to try and emulate the mighty EAC.
Apparently it is not quite as good as EAC; as although it does rip twice the two rips are not matched with the same level of accuracy as they are in EAC. Sample of log at bottom of page
I do not understand all the detail here; if anyone knows precisely what the differences are please share that info; i would love to know...
I have also placed similar info for EAC under Wine here [since it works fine on Linux too]




TIPS TO USE RR
===========


In my experience of using RR [on Ubuntu]i have found that it can be a little unresponsive from the GUI and responds excelently from command line
So i suggest

CODE

rrip_gui

from command line to set your settings

Then to shut down the gui

And use from terminal with

CODE

rrip_cli

That way has always been smooth for me on Ubuntu.... it may be different on other distros.

● To change your Other command line it is alternatively also handy to go straight to the settings page

again in Ubuntu [modify for your distro]

CODE

gedit  .config/rubyripper/settings

brings up the page; find the Other line and replace with one of those below


======================


You will need to do this to each of the added codecs to make them executable

CODE

sudo mv nameofcodec /usr/bin

and then make it executable

CODE

cd /usr/bin

CODE

sudo chmod +x nameofcodec

PS I do not link the codecs' pages here as I trust all of you will be able to find them through a search engine..

======================



THE COMMAND-LINES [FROM lossless to lossy]


●shorten [no tagging option]

CODE

shorten  "%i"  "%o".shn

●Alac through ffmpeg

CODE

ffmpeg -i %i -acodec alac "%o".m4a && neroAacTag %o.m4a -meta:artist=%a -meta:album=%b -meta:genre=%g -meta:year=%y -meta:track="%n" -meta:title="%t"

●wavpack

CODE

wavpack -w "Artist=%a" -w "Title=%t" -w "Album=%b" -w "Year=%y" -w "Track=%n" -w "Genre=%g" -hhm %i -o "%o.wv"

●True audio tta

CODE

ttaenc -e  "%i" -o "%o".tta   && id3v2 %o.tta --artist %a --album %b --song %t --genre %g --track %n  --year %y

●ape with tags id3v2

CODE

mac "%i" "%o".ape -c5000 && id3v2 %o.ape --artist %a --album %b --song %t --genre %g --track %n --year %y

●also with tags apetag [you will need to find and add apetag first]

CODE

mac "%i" "%o".ape -c5000 && apetag -i %o.ape -m overwrite -p trackname=%t -p Artist=%a -p Album=%b -p Year=%y -p Track=%n -p Codec=%f

●mp3hd

CODE

mp3hdEncoder -br 320000 -if "%i" -of "%o".mp3 - -Title "%t" -Artist "%a" -Album "%b" -Track "%n" -Year "%y" -Genre "%g"

ALSO IMPORTANT for mp3hdEncoder
MAke sure you have Lame installed; the encoding relies on it for the lossy part and make it executable
ALSO make sure you go into the terminal enter mp3hdEncoder and ACCEPT the agreement



●ogg vorbis [although this one is available without using the Other i leave it here for reference]

CODE

oggenc  -q 9 -t "%t" -d "%y" -a "%a" -l "%b" -G "%g" -N "%n" -c "%c"  "%i" -o "%o" .ogg

●musepack

CODE

mpcenc --quality 10.00 --artist "%a" --title "%t" --album "%b" --genre "%g" --year "%y" -if "%i" "%o" .mpc

●aac/m4a with neroAacEnc [320k]

CODE

neroAacEnc -cbr 320000 -if %i -of %o.m4a && neroAacTag %o.m4a -meta:artist=%a -meta:album=%b -meta:genre=%g -meta:year=%y -meta:track=%n -meta:title=%t

●HE-AACv2

CODE

neroAacEnc -hev2 -q 1 -if %i -of %o.m4a && neroAacTag %o.m4a -meta:artist=%a -meta:album=%b -meta:genre=%g -meta:year=%y -meta:track=%n -meta:title=%t

CODE

opusenc --bitrate 128 "%i" "%o".opus && id3v2 "%o".opus --artist "%a" --album "%b" --song "%t" --genre "%g" --track "%n" --year "%y"

● shorten also can be tagged with id3
