I didn't see your last post but I'll work more on some of your suggestions. I did find and fix a couple of bugs, I also worked on your previous requests.

3.6 is up now.

Great, glad it's getting used. I've ripped quite a bit with it too. I will try and work on it some more next week.

Flash is right, and pawdioconverter doesn't work with spaces in paths (unless you've fixed it lately).
It would be nice if that was fixed - I looked at it back when I fixed it in pfind and the trash roxapp, but pawdioconverter was just too daunting for me Smile

I haven't used it in a while but I'll add it to the list of things to work on. I don't know how much time I want to put into it though. I'd almost rather start over from scratch on that one.

Jason
not sure if you are aware of this one as I don't do a lot of ripping
I have some CDs where the CDDB lookup returns a genre that isn't in lames list of genres:
http://lame.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/lame/lame/doc/html/id3.html
This causes lame to fail. It would be nice if you could either drop the genre if it was not acceptable to lame. Even better would be if I got to choose a genre from the allowed list.

Alright, I thought I had some code in there that should reject an unknown genre. I'll look into it when I get a chance.

there is some code in there but I don't think it works. It is doing comparisons between the number of characters in the genre.

I think that the following line might work to replace about 15 lines of code

3.7 is up. It should fix the problem described by HairyWill.

plinej, thanks for your works!
What you think about multilingual support? As in Pburn, for example.
We are planning to translate in Russian.
Best regards.

If I get some spare time I'll look at the Pburn code and see how difficult it will be.

Will someone please point me in the right direction to figure out how to make my Pcdripper settings persist? I rip audio books to mp3 so I can listen to them on my mp3 player, and I have to reenter almost every option for each CD. Not only does that slow me down (audio books typically have 6 CDs, and some have more than 20) but sometimes I even make mistakes. Embarassed

I tinkered around with /usr/sbin/pcdripper. I'm posting what I changed to have a record of what I did. If anyone else wants to take a shot at making Pcdripper's GUI more like Precord's, with all the settings in one window and so it remembers the settings, please feel free. Smile

I commented out lines 2120 through 2140, and line 2146:

OK, that didn't do much good. Sad

I just discovered this thread, "GtkDialog - tips" in the HOWTO section of the forum. Embarassed

This post appears to describe how to change default settings for radio buttons.

If I live long enough maybe I'll figure out how to fix Pcdripper the way I want it. Laughing

Since this is the official thread for Pcdripper I have a couple of fixes for 3.7, the version that's shipped with Lucid 5.20. It doesn't look as though this is currently being maintained but I find it useful and it's a shame to leave it broken.

The first issue was with audio formats being empty, and the second was with music categories being dumped to the terminal rather than to a file (lame --genre-list goes to stderr not stdout).

Change:

/usr/sbin/pcdripper:236:cat /tmp/$WHOAMI-pcdripper-formats | sort -u > /tmp/$WHOAMI-pcdripper-formats

to:

/usr/sbin/pcdripper:236:cat /tmp/$WHOAMI-pcdripper-formats | sort -u -o /tmp/$WHOAMI-pcdripper-formats

Change:

/usr/sbin/pcdripper:1885:lame --genre-list | grep -i "$GENRE" | sed 's/[0-9]//g' | tr -s ' ' | sed 's/^ //g' > /tmp/$WHOAMI-pcdripper-genrelist

to

/usr/sbin/pcdripper:1885:lame --genre-list 2>&1 | grep -i "$GENRE" | sed 's/[0-9]//g' | tr -s ' ' | sed 's/^ //g' > /tmp/$WHOAMI-pcdripper-genrelist

I also had a cddb_query error about libcdio.so.7 not found (libcdio.so.10 is installed) so I compiled libcddb-1.3.2 which includes cddb_query and it now works.
