G'day,

Sorry, I got the wrong terminology, Embarassed

but you figured it out. Thanks again for your work.

I probably will just make a big audio transcoding program and borrow alot of code from PBcdripper but I don't think I want to add more options to the existing program. I think I just want to keep it as a rip/encode program.

I just updated to 2.3 which adds support for some more lossless audio formats.

Sounds sensible to me, I think there are plenty of other options in PBcdripper already. Any more and the interface might get a bit confusing.

And the idea of a general purpose audio transcoding program has been on my mind already, I think that would be a very good idea.

Yeah, I've already got pretty much all the necessary code to transcode between any sox, ffmpeg, faac, and some various lossless audio codecs between several programs I wrote. It shouldn't take me long to come up with something. Just two drop down boxes, 1 with current type in chosen directory and one with type you wish to encode to. I'll probably throw something together on Monday or Tuesday.

Sounds good, I look forward to it. BTW, I upgraded the PBcdripper package for Grafpup to this latest version again and changed out the icons. Looking very good. Thanks again.

I've got PawdioConverter-0.1 all written. I'm testing it out now. It supports all sox and ffmpeg formats as well as all the formats in PBcdripper-2.3. It has the same tagging option as PBcdripper for wma, mp3, m4a, and ogg. I don't see any potential problems so I'll run thru some tests and post it if I'm satisfied.

updated to 2.5

Is it just me, or did you do a serious code cleanout on this? Either way I've updated again.

maybe a little but not much. Basically just made it work with gtkdialog3 and changed/added a couple of things.

2.6 is now up

I changed one small thing in my copy. I changed the stock icon for the rip process from "gtk-cdrom" to "gtk-execute" so it is a different icon from the button next to it, and one that makes a lot of sense to me, since this button executes the rip.

Good idea. I didn't like it after I did but just haven't gotten around to updating again.

I discovered last night that if PBcdripper can't read a track on a CD, and I tell it to give up, my computer locks up and the only thing that will free it up is a hard reboot. This happened twice. I was trying to convert one track (the last track of 26 on a CD) to mp3, but the drive couldn't read the track. FWIW, I had checked the 'disable paranoia' and 'disable extra paranoia' boxes. After it had tried for 5 or 10 minutes without success, I told PBcdripper to quit. That's when everything locked up. Then I did it all again to make sure.

The first time it happened, the Free Memory box turned red although there should have been several hundred MB. The second time, Free Memory stayed blue and there was plenty of RAM left, but it still froze up.
