Hi everyone, Thank you for all your input; may I pose you one last question? If I wish to _ensure_ that I can _always_ do real-time encoding, what is the cheapest AMD chip I should buy? I really don't need "better than real-time" encoding, but I do wish to be sure that the CD is ripped when I am finished listening to it, so that I can carelessly eject it without checking if the

Hi again, On a related not, I think I read in the mailing-list archives that the Pentium III wasn't "ideal" for .ogg operations; are AMD's processors more appropriate/do they perform better?

Hi, I recently migrated from Windows to Linux. I´ve used Linux quite a bit in server-enviroments, but as a desktop I have very little experience. I am now looking for a tool to rip CD´s to Ogg with CDDA support. I´ve tried KonCD, but it lacks features and is abit buggy. Sure, I can use cdparanoia, rename the wav´s to the right names and then encode to ogg via oggenc. But since I use X I

Hey all. I was an "early" adopter of mp3 (1994-1995), and I took great pains to use digital audio extractors and avoid jitter and whatnot thru proper hardware - back then, this was no mean feat. Well, I'm starting to switch to Ogg (dragging out all the CD's, starting over) and I want to know if anyone has an informed opinion on the merits or demerits of "normalization"

Regular audio CDs do not use

Sorry, to interrupt the license flame war... I downloaded the source from CVS as of 11am this morning and there are a couple of issues that I ran into: 1) I built the package and then in the examples dir I executed the following commands: # cdparanoia -B 1-1 # ./encoder-example < track01.cdda.wav > test.vor # ./decoder-example < test.vor > out.wav The rip and the encode both work

I downloaded all the Beta 4 libraries/tools yesterday and compiled them - everything went fine. ogg123 works fine - it plays files off the website. So does the XMMS plugin (I just built XMMS and had it build the vorbis plugin that it came with) oggenc seems to work fine, in that all of its output looks normal: [ttyp3@dalek:tear-require-0.2.0/CDDB_get-1.4 @00:39] oggenc track03.cdda.wav

Hi all, I've got a strange problem. I was just encoding a new CD I bought a couple of days ago (Muse - Hullabaloo Soundtrack) when I ran into a strange bug. After ripping track 8, CD 1 with cdparanoia under OpenBSD/alpha, I wanted to encode it with oggenc (latest version from the OpenBSD-current ports tree, (`oggenc -v` says 'OggEnc v1.0 (libvorbis 1.0)')). Here's the output :

Hi there. First of all, I'd like to congratulate to developers for making a free specification and LGPLed decoder/encoder. :-). I did some test, ripping 17 tracks of my CD and converting them to both MP3 and OGG format. MP3 encoder/player was Lame 3.70 OGG encoder/player was from a Saturday nightly tgz package. ------------------------------------ MP3: LAME-3.70 mpg123-0.59r-4 MP3: lame -S

oggenc -b 128 cdda.wav cdda.ogg lame -h cdda.wav cdda.mp3 ogg123 -d null cdda.ogg mpg123 -t cdda.mp3 Here we can see that the mp3 tools are clearly superior in terms of the numbers of characters saved on the command line. mp3 users enjoy a 20% saving. Real-life results may narrow this gap. Rik p.s. ;) --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage:

Hi, if it comes to mp3... my 'old' Duron-700 delivers a rip-and-encode performance six (6!) times faster then 'single speed' (bladeEnc 0.94.2). So take the cheapest Duron box available, and you will be happy, for real small money.

I have a partly damaged CD, from which I extracted 192Kb/s Vorbis files a while ago (before it got damaged) and I'd like to get FLAC files. `cdparanoia' extracted most of the data from the CD, but there are some holes due to the damages. How could I fill those holes in my FLAC files using the Vorbis files? Stefan

I'm trying to recover data from an audio cd. it is a recording of a live session, made on a professional cd recorder, on the fly. apparently, instead of stopping it and fixating the disc, someone turned off the power. oops. I know that wodim will fixate a disk as long as it was otherwise properly terminated (I've done it more than once), but this one it won't fixate. depending on

Is there anyone out there who has installed FreeBSD on the above Sony laptop ? Both ''cat filename > /dev/dsp0.0'' or ''vlc cdda:///dev/acd0@1 are OK. If I run ''cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 play'', there is no sound. But the output of ''cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 status audio'' is alright. (same behaviour for cd0 instead of acd0) And the output

What's the easiest single step command to use cdparanoia & oggenc to convert a CD straight into oggs without sucking a ton of disk space for WAVs in the meantime? Is it possible to do it so that the WAV rip resides in memory and only the ogg gets written to disk?

I haven't seen this in the options, and have been unsuccessful in trying it... Is there any way to set oggenc to accept data (file) input from stdin? basically do a raw PCM stream from CDParanoia -> oggenc without an intermediary file.
