Originally I encoded everything to MP3 but now I am redoing it all in FLAC which I think is a better choice for archiving discs.
I experimented with using FLAC but found it was not working in the Logitech Mediaserver. Instead of continuing to fight with it I opted to bump up the quality on the rip for my CD's.  


I often use a Logitech Squeezebox for playback, and it can handle FLAC just fine.
All my players handle FLAC. Oh well.

I started using "grip" to convert my discs to audio files a long time ago when it came with Ubuntu. They dropped it from Ubuntu but I still use it by compiling from source.

I experimented with using FLAC but found it was not working in the Logitech Mediaserver. Instead of continuing to fight with it I opted to bump up the quality on the rip for my CD's.

All my players handle FLAC. Oh well.

Grip

I use a locally compiled version of grip. Version 3.3.1 compiled on Ubuntu 14.10

Download from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/grip/

Build

sudo apt-get install  lame cdparanoia \
 libgnomeui-dev libghc-vte-dev curl libcurl4-openssl-dev
./configure
make -j 6
sudo make install

vte is a terminal widget

Configure

Currently I just keep all the files in a folder hierarchy. I tried keeping a MySQL database but found that I never used it.

Device is /dev/sr0

Encoder

MP3

I used to use these settings for MP3 encoding.

Encoder is "lame".

command line: -h -V 1 %w %m

file extension is .mp3

file format: ~/music/%A/%d/%t-%n.%x

Misc

Email address

Do not lowercase filenames

Do not change spaces to underscores
