RRIP_GUI(1)

NAME

rrip_gui - secure audio CD ripper, GTK3 graphical interface

SYNOPSIS

rrip_gui

DESCRIPTION

rrip_gui is the GTK3 graphical interface of Rubyripper, a secure audio CD ripper inspired by Exact Audio Copy (EAC). It uses cdparanoia(1) in a sophisticated way to ensure accurate rips: each track is ripped multiple times and the results compared chunk by chunk to detect and correct read errors.

On startup, rrip_gui automatically scans the CD drive and fetches disc metadata from GnuDB or MusicBrainz (according to preferences). The main window presents five buttons in a left-side panel:

Preferences
    Opens the preferences dialog with sections for Secure ripping, TOC analysis, Codecs, Metadata, and Other settings. These mirror the options available in the command-line interface rrip_cli(1).

Scan drive
    Re-reads the disc currently in the drive and refreshes the track listing and metadata.

Open tray / Close tray
    Ejects or loads the disc drive.

Rip cd now!
    Starts the ripping and encoding process using the current preferences and track selection. A progress view shows ripping and encoding progress along with the live log output.

Exit / Abort
    Exits the application, or aborts an ongoing rip when one is in progress.

  Preferences dialog

The preferences dialog provides the same configuration options as the interactive menus in rrip_cli(1):

•   Secure ripping: drive device, offset, padding, cdparanoia parameters, chunk match counts, maximum attempts, ejection policy, log policy.

•   TOC analysis: cuesheet, single-file image mode, hidden tracks, pre-gap handling, pre-emphasis.

•   Codecs: FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, MP3 (LAME), AAC (Nero or Fraunhofer), WavPack, Opus, WAV, external encoder, playlist generation, encoding threads, audio normalisation.

•   Metadata: provider selection (GnuDB or MusicBrainz), server settings, country and date preferences.

•   Other: output directory, file naming schemes, log viewer, file manager.
