Ah, starting the GUI... You Linux guys have gotten soft. ;) When I want to rip/encode a CD, I just type "encodecd" at my bash and it goes. Only problem is, my script doesn't do the CDDB stuff.
Anyone know of a console CDDB client? That would allow my script to finish the job. Though, I'll check out Grip anyway. It sounds like it does all the cool stuff.
I use abcde (a better cd encoder) from http://lly.org/~rcw/abcde/ (it requires cd-discid [http://lly.org/~rcw/cd-discid/] to extract the disc id in cddb format) If you're on debian, you can "apt-get install abcde" I'm not sure if any other distros include it; It was originally a debian-native package. it uses CDDB, parallelisation, and it's just a shell script. i've got an account "mp3" set to not require a password, with abcde as its shell.
It sounds like what you might want is something that's polling the drive, looking for the insertion of a new CD, which it assumes it can rip. The ripping and encoding process commences. Once done, it sits patiently until you insert the next CD. The polling stops when you stop the original program. Is this the kind of thing which you seek? If so, I've never seen such a beast.
No, that's rediculous. :)
I know someone who was actually writing something like this for his own use... don't know if he ever finished it, though. I'll have to ask him. -- Aaron Haviland orion [at] tribble [dot] dyndns [dot] org orion [at] parsed [dot] net _____ _ | |___|_|___ ___ | | | _| | . | | |_____|_| |_|___|_|_|
