cdparanoia

I was pretty happy using CLI for navigation and file-y stuff when I was first recommended cdparanoia, but the prospect of using it to rip CDs seemed too perverse.

I've just had another go, and it's super easy.

cdparanoia -B

is the key command. It'll rip all tracks from the current disc drive to the current working folder.

then

$ lame track01.cdda.wav

to encode a track as mp3. To do this for all the tracks in the folder:

$ for t in track{01..18}*.wav; do lame $t; done

and then it's just a matter of

rm *wav

to get rid of those. Though should I maybe back up the wav files to an external hdd though?

decisions.

Oh, and here's where I go the straight answers above.
