cdda2ogg - Man Page

cdda2ogg

cdda2ogg is a simple script that uses the icedax <fileprefix> command to extract all audio tracks with the icedax <fileprefix> command and encode them using the ogg123 encoder. The scripts are not intended to be full-featured music archiving programs, but only for quick storing of few audio data. It does not use databases like CDDB or have any extra features. You may look at icedax if you need them.

ogg123 is provided by the vorbis-tools which needs to be installed separately. See www.ogg.org for more information.

cdda2ogg have predefined values for reading and labeling of the target files. You can overwrite them with following environment variables:

CDDA_DEVICE

Source device specification to get the data from.

LIST

List of track numbers to be read, separated by spaces.

CDDA2WAV

Defines the command to run the cdda2wav program

CDDA2WAV_OPTS

Miscellaneous options passed to $CDDA2WAV.

MP_CODER

The encoder program.

MP_OPTIONS

Additional options passed to $MP_CODER.

FILEPREFIX

The base part of the filename of resulting audio files. This can also be specified as the first argument to the script.

See cdda2ogg script file to get the default values

System administrator can also set default values by creating of a shell include file, defining the variables for the POSIX shell, and storing them as /etc/default/cdda2ogg.

CDDA_DEVICE=/dev/cdrom1 cdda2ogg
just stores every track in this device in audiotrackNUMBER.ogg

LIST="1 5 7" cdda2ogg PartsOfBestOfFoo
stores the selected tracks from the default cdrom device as 01-PartsOfBestOfFoo.ogg, 05-PartsOfBestOfFoo.ogg, 07-PartsOfBestOfFoo.ogg.
