@rcrsn51

Can your application, PeasyDisc, make a music CD of .mp3 files working from tahrpup-6.0.2?

Yes, but it will take some patience on your part to learn how it works. You should start with a simpler task, like burning an ISO.

@rcrsn51: No reply to my issue, in the relevant thread?

I have to say I'm rather disappointed in you right now. You do have the power to help me and you're choosing not to use it.

Hello PeasyDisc fans
After a failed audio cd burn with pBurn I posted in the pBurn-4.3.14 thread my experience with that software and my attempts with using PeasyDisc to blank the rewritable. I thought it inappropriate then and even now to duplicate the post here as all of the post would not be of interest to those following the Peasy thread. Quoted below is an excerpt from the post of the section related to my use of PeasyDisc. I have reluctantly provided a link to the post in the pBurn thread at the end of this post for those who may be interested.
I launched rcrsn51's PeasyDisc to see it it would blank the disc. It went through the process seemingly without a problem but pBurn still reported the RW as a read only CD. I concluded that PeasyDisc only did a "Fast Blank", not a full erase.

I again blanked the RW in PeasyDisc, then chose to burn an ISO. As reported in the first line of the screen output, the media was recognized as removable and the software completed the burn of the ISO - 437MB . But when I clicked on the CD icon a pBurn dialog appeared, informing that the disc was most likely blank and invited me to run pBurn. This I did. To my surprise, pBurn now showed the RW as blank - 652 MB free. The PeasyDisc burn of the ISO did not happen, but the process fully erased the disc.

I then chose to burn with pBurn the same SRCD iso that Peasy failed to burn. It went through the process and deliveed a bootable CD.
I concluded by openly suggesting that:
rcrsn51's PeasyDisc needs to offer full erase, not only "fast erase". The full erase seems to have happened during the burniso but the data was not written.
The same day, I sent a PM to rcrsn51 with the link to the post. That was on Tue 26 May 2015. As you all know, rcrsn51 gets very antsy when posters take a day to respond to his proffered help. He hasn't responded in mail or here or in the pBurn thread :shock: :? :o .

Here is the link to the post in the pBurn thread.
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 849#847849

On another matter, I answered on offer for help from him on May 5th, but no activity from him since.

Hi, I am ripping an audio CD (peasydisc 3.5) and would like to rip all tracks. The track selection window defaults to "1". Is there an easy way to rip "all" tracks if i do not already know how many tracks are on the CD? (Some of my CDs are things like "Greatest hits of 1975" and Lord only knows how many tracks are on the CD and I don't have the original cover).

Or some simple way for me to see the list of tracks so I can enter "1-x" in the track selection field? cheers!

EDIT : Just for the heck of it I tried putting "all" in the "Track" field and it works fine - ripped all the tracks! (It came up with a message about "tall" being an option that builds one large file from all tracks but it still produced the distinct individual files that I was looking for. Perfect!)

Hello, greengeek.

My answer will be a bit off since I have never used Peasydisc. That said:

For ripping an audio CD, there's none better IMO than abcde.

To see the tracks, with your audio CD in your drive, type in console
< cd-info >. You'll see something like this in the 2nd half of the report:

I hope this helps. BFN.

Thanks musher0 - I will stick with Peasy though as it is already grafted into my puppy sfs. It is a Slacko 5.6 derivative that runs in ram without savefile so I don't want to remaster just to add extra stuff. Fortunately I just discovered that I can use the "all" parameter in Peasy's "Track" field and it rips the lot.
(Also abcde is over 100KB and Peasy is only 15KB and does heaps more :-) )
cheers!

EDIT : I do like the suggestion of

Code: Select all

cd-info

That is useful to know.
cheers!

Hello, greengeek.

Appearances can be deceptive! Don't believe the 15k size! In typical fashion,
rcrsn51 is probably calling from his utility all manner of cd utilities that
Puppy has. Maybe you should add those in your count to be fair to abcde!

In any case, glad I could be of some help. BFN.

Use "1-".

@greengeek:

I've just perused peasydisc.

To be fair to abcde, one thing abcde does and peasydic doesn't is
rip in one step from cdda files on CD to wav and then to the OggVorbis
format, my preferred encoding, on disk, in quality steps up to 10.

Now peasydisc offers conversion to mp3. Period. You're not allowed to
choose a bit-rate. And in two separate steps, too, it seems: you first rip
from cdda to wav. Then, as I understand it, you have to re-use peasydisc
to convert the ripped wav files to the mp3 format, again, with no control
over the quality of the sound. Agreed, I'm a former musician and I'm
pretty fussy about sound quality, but a bit-rate scale for mp3 would be a
nice add-on to peasydisc.

As I suspected, rcrsn51 regroups in one interface all manner of cd/dvd-
related utilities present on all (?) Puppies. There's nothing wrong with
that, it's well done, and it was destined to be done by some experienced
Puppyist some day. It's handy to have a central command for cd and
dvd work.

Total disk occupation of cd-related files (only cd-related, not dvd- or BR-
related) in Puppy: almost 1.3Mb's, as evidenced in the following table.

Code: Select all

cd utils in Puppy
-rwxr-xr-x	1	2286	31	jan	2012	/usr/bin/cdda2mp3*

	Total =	             1290,057 Kb
So let's not hastily discard abcde because of its apparent size.

abcde has functions peasydisc does not have, and -- another thing that I
like about abcde -- it does not mess up your screen when finishing its job,
like asunder does. If the people at asunder find making your screen into
a pseudo-matrix display funny, to give a visual example of "asunder"
or of "ripping" or what not, I'm not laughing.

For more, I recently published a post on abcde's most recent version here.

BFN.

Hi Bill,
I'm much appreciating this awesome applications ! Thanks for it !

Just one question: might be I am wrong ... :? : ... when starting a BLANK dvd burning, with the Menu/Advanced/«Add to disc» box CHECKED, then the burn operation fails, AND the dvd is no longer usable.
This happened to me twice ... because i forgot to check/uncheck the right box ... :oops:

If true: what could be a way to avoid dvd spilling?
If false: please disregard this transmission :roll:

HTH
Charlie

I understand your frustration - I was never happy with the way this procedure worked.

Here is the problem. In old versions of PeasyDisc, the default choice was New. But if you wanted to add data and forgot to switch to Add, it would destroy all the data currently on the disc.

So I switched the default to Add.

What do you think of this solution? Make the default choice New again, but add a message that warns you about it.

[Edit] I have posted a new version on the first page for you to test.

Did you read my answer to your post in PeasyPDF?

I experienced the following "difficulties" using this application for the first time. I wanted to full blank a cd-rw. Process seem to start correctly and I presume the blanking was done after about nine minutes when a press enter message appeared. Clicking enter resulted in what looked like another blanking exercise. I also could not stop the process. I'm sure some progress bar and a popup message when a task is finished, will add to the functionality and user friendliness of the application. This will take the guesswork out of things, especially for a new user.
