Man1 - cdda2ogg.1

cdda2ogg, cdda2mp3 - extract CD audio tracks and encode them

cdda2ogg [ options ][ *dev=*/device/ ] [/file prefix/] [/ogg opts/]

cdda2mp3 [ options ][ *dev=*/device/ ] [/file prefix/] [/lame opts/]

cdda2ogg is a script that uses the cdda2wav command to extract all audio tracks with the cdda2wav command and encode them using the oggenc*(1) *Ogg Vorbis encoder.

cdda2mp3 is a script that uses the cdda2wav command to extract all audio tracks with the cdda2wav command and encode them using the lame*(1) *MP3 encoder.

There is no CDDB support yet.

-help

print a short online usage message and exit.

*dev=*/device/

The device to read the data from. If there is only one CD-ROM drive in the system, the dev= option may be omitted. For possible values of the device parameter, see the *cdrecord*(1) man page.

-*

Any other option beginning with a ’-’ sign is passed to the cdda2wav program.

Any other option past the file prefix argument and beginning with a ’-’ sign is passed to the encoder program.

The following environment variables may be used to change the behavior of the cdda2ogg and the cdda2mp3 command:

CDDA2WAV

Defines the command to extract WAV data from the CD. The default value is cdda2wav.

CDDA2WAV_OPTS

Defines the options passed to the CDDA program while extracting from the CD. The default value is -H -q.

MP_CODER

The encoder program used to compress the audio data. The default value is oggenc for cdda2ogg and lame for cdda2mp3.

MP_OPTIONS

Options passed to the encoder program. The default is empty.

FILEPREFIX

The base filename part of the resulting audio files. The default file name is $TRACK-$FILEPREFIX.ogg for cdda2ogg and $TRACK-$FILEPREFIX.mp3 for cdda2mp3 if no file prefix argument was given on the command line.

If the following files are present, then the scripts source them to set up local defaults:

/etc/default/cdda2ogg

To set up default values for cdda2ogg.

/etc/default/cdda2mp3

To set up default values for cdda2mp3.

The content may be set up to modify environment variables or to set up local defaults.

*cdda2wav*(1), *cdrecord*(1), *oggenc*(1), *lame*(1).

If a CD contains a hidden audio track before track 1, a file name with track number 00 is created with the content of the hidden track.

The program oggenc*(1) is part of the *vorbis-tools project See http://www.vorbis.com for more information.

The program lame*(1) is part of the *lame project. See http://lame.sourceforge.net/ for more information.

The first versions of the scripts have been based on a news article by Tom Kludy.
