Introduction
What is Rubyripper? Rubyripper is simple, but quite sophisticated digital audio extraction tool written in Python programming language that can create secure rip's in Linux/OsX (very similiar to EAC). The source (same as executable) is published under the (GPL license).

Features
- a command-line program which makes use of cdparanoia.
- every track gets ripped twice and is compared with a 160-bit SHA1 checksum
- if the checksums differ, the track will be ripped twice again until the checksum matches
- CDDB-info is fetched via the pycddb module.
- It can rip to FLAC, MP3, and Vorbis.
- Lame and Vorbis can be configured, default for lame is: -V2 --vbr-new, default for vorbis is -q 6
- You can choose the ripping device, otherwise default is used.
- See rubyripper --help for more information
- The files will be saved as "working directory/extension/artist (year) album/tracknumber - trackname.extension
Rubyripper configuration
Make sure to have pycddb and cdparanoia installed as a minimum. You can optionally choose for Lame, Vorbis or FLAC, depending on the codec you want to encode to.
Then download Rubyripper: http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubyripper/
Usage: Unpack it (tar xfj <filename>), make rubyripper.rb executable (chmod +x <filename>) and just run from inside the directory ./rubyripper.rb. If it doesn't work please make sure dependencies are ok.
