Vorbis - Feb 2002 - ogg-cdparanoia.py: small linux cd rip tool

Hi.

I guess the world is full of these, one more won't hurt:

"The ogg-cdparanoia script is a wrapper of the programs   cdparanoia
(http://www.xiph.org/paranoia/), sox (http://sox.sourceforge.net/) and
oggenc (http://www.vorbis.com/).  The process is simple: for each track,
cdparanoia is called to extract the audio to a temporary wav file. Sox
is used on it to see if it   is normalized. If it is, oggenc is called on
it to generate the apropiate .ogg version. If it isn't normalized, sox is
called on it to   normalize it, and the output is fed directly to oggenc.

The result is that you only need enough hard disk space to hold the
track being   compressed, and the generated ogg files. It could be made
to not store _any_ temporary file, but in the case of tracks needed to
be   normalized you would be reading the track twice, which at least
for me is the speed bottleneck."

It's of course a linux commandline script. Enjoy:

Just wanted to point out -> ReplayGain makes normalizing completely
unnecessary, and does so without any quality loss.

Moreover, it allows you to _retain_ volume differences between
tracks, if you want it to. Once you have normalized that
information is irreparably gone.
