# getcd

A small script to rip and encode audio from a CD.

## Synopsis

    ./getcd.sh [-t(m|f|o|w)] [-p path] [-e encoder] [-c cddbitem] [-h]
       [-I interface] [-D device] [-v[v|0]] [-q] [-s]
       [--help] [--encoding=(m|f|o|w)] [--encoder=(lame|bladeenc)]
       [--path=<string>] [--interface=(cooked_ioctl|generic_scsi)]
       [--device=<string>]


## Description

### Options

 *      ``-h | --help`` : online help
 *               ``-v`` : set verbosity level.
 *               ``-q`` : make the script silent. Equivalent to -v0
 *  ``-t | --encoding`` : encoding type
 *      ``-p | --path`` : base path
 *   ``-e | --encoder`` : encoder
 *               ``-c`` : CDDB entry selection
 * ``-I | --interface`` : specifies cdda2wav interface to use
 *    ``-D | --device`` : specifies device to use with cdda2wav.
 *               ``-s`` : sampler indicator

#### Verbosity settings (``-v``)

 * ``-v0`` : disable all output
 *  ``-v`` : be more verbose
 * ``-vv`` : enables debug

#### Encoding type (``-t | --encoding``)

You can specify either m for encoding to mp3 using lame, or f for making
lossless encoding using flac, or o for making ogg/vorbis, or w for
uncompressed wav.  Omitting this results in encoding to flac. Mp3s will be
placed under a subfolder mp3 and flacs under a subfolder flac.

#### Base path (``-p | --path``)

Specifies the path to save the encoded data.
Defaults to the users home directory.

#### Encoder (``-e | --encoder``)

Specifies the mp3 encoder to use. Valid encoders are actually:

 * lame
 * bladeenc

Defaults to lame.

#### CDDB entry selection (``-c``)

Specifies the CDDB-Entry to use.

Sometimes there is more than 1 entry for a cd in cddb.  Then you can specify
wich one to use by this option. You can checkout all entries using cddb.pl.

#### Cdda2wav interface selection (``-I | --interface``)

Valid interfaces are ``generic_scsi`` and ``cooked_ioctl``.  Please note that
``cooked_ioctl`` is not available on all systems. Defaults to ``cooked_ioctl``
if device begins with /dev else to ``generic_scsi``

#### Cdda2wav device selection (``-D | --device``)

All values that are valid for cdda2wav are valid here.

Defaults to /dev/cdrom

#### sampler indicator (``-s``)

If set indicates that this disk contains various artists (is a sampler). In
this case the artist is written in the title information of cddb most likely.
Giving this option the script will show a title list and give the oppotunity
to enter a delimiting string so that title and artist information can be split
properly and fill the mp3id or whatever correctly.
