-ripit
------
+RipIT is used to create MPEG-1 Layer 3 (mp3) using Lame, or uses Flac (flac),
+Ogg Vorbis (ogg) or Faac (m4a) to convert audio files (wav) extracted from an
+audio CD. It is a console based front-end (no GUI here), written in Perl, for
+various programs.
-ripit is a small front-end program written in perl for ripping,
-encoding and tagging MP3s or Ogg/Vorbis files from audio CDs. It
-is a console program that needs no user intervention. It requires
-p5-CDDB for CDDB access. A track ripper program and an encoder are
-also needed.
+The program will do the following without user intervention:
+ * getting the audio CD Album/Artist/Tracks information from CDDB
+ * ripping the audio CD Tracks
+ * encoding to Flac, mp3 or Ogg
+ * id3 tags encoded songs
+ * creating an playlist (m3u) file
+ * optionally generating a toc (cue) sheet for nice DAO burning
+ * optionally preparing and send a CDDB submission and save it locally
+ * optionally extracting hidden songs and split ghost songs
+ * optionally creating md5sum files for all tracks
+ * running several encoder processes at the same time and same run
