You may want to try with the "exit on a bad read" box checked. I think cdparanoia will keep trying until it's done. When you say you told it to give up did you click the "stop rip process" button? That will send a "killall cdparanoia" command. Not sure if that helps at all since I haven't run into that problem yet.

hello plinej,
looking on the cdparanoia site, no mention about selecting multiple tracks to rip,
say tracks 1-3 and 6 and 12-15 and 23.
any ideas if it could be implemented with maybe a batch call with your gui
or maybe it's already in there and i didn't see it .
btw, i just translated it into french for esmourguit
thanks for your gui Image

Right now if you uncheck the "rip the full cd" box, the "Enter range or single track" entry box will become active. In that box you could enter "1-3" to just rip the first 3 tracks, etc...

hello plinej,
I'm rephrasing my last post.
from what i understand, your gui is limited to what paranoia can do in one go.
This makes sense as you depend on the underlying program to do all the work.
Paranoia won't let you do multiple, not in order tracks in one go.
So if i still want to rip multiple, not necessarily sequential tracks, from the same CD in one go,
it looks like that i have to do it in several sessions.
thanks in advance for the clarification

Yes, you are correct, that's currently the case.

I posted an early version of some new code. It is Pcdripper 2.9. I posted some notes on the first page about it and posted a snapshot. You'll need to unpack it and place it somewhere in your $PATH (i.e. /usr/sbin/).

This new version utilizes cddb_query (it's in puppy 4 not sure if it's in older puppies or what package it comes from) for getting cd information from the online database. Make sure "cddb_query" is in your path.

You can also do manual tags from within the gui or no tags at all. If you choose no tags you can enter your "preceding name for tracks" just like before. If you choose one of the tagging options you can choose the format for which you want your files to be named as. T=track, N=name, A=artist, Y=year, L=album, & G=genre. So if you want your track to have the track number & the song name in the name of the file you would put "TN" (w/o the quotes) on the line. The script will automatically put hyphens between each option.

The ripping options are pretty much the same as before except I added a checkbox to play a sound when finished. The script finds a suitable cli media player and plays /usr/share/audio/2barks.wav if checked.

The select audio format is in the upper right pull down menu now. Select your desired format and that format will populate to the un-editable box at the bottom of the gui.

I did away with the setting your preferences dialog and instead the program will save the majority of your options from your last session.

All Xdialog is gone.

Right now support is only available for:
flac
shn (shorten) (non-taggable)
mp3 (lame)
ogg (oggenc)
and of course wav

I have cdparanoia piped into the encoder now via stdout. This way there will be no temp wav files since the encoding is being done at the same time ripping is.

If someone knows who to pipe cdparanoia's stdout into ffmpeg (for wma) & mac (ape) let me know. I couldn't get it to work.

I haven't made the new help.html file so clicking help won't do anything yet.

Well, like I said, it's probably got some bugs since I haven't done alot with it yet but I wanted to get some testers on it.

I'd love to test it if I could find the time but I don't think I will, anytime soon. :(

That's fine. I've done some revising and heavily commented my code. I also just finished up the revised help html file. I'll post a pet package soon for version 2.9.1. I think I'll start a new thread too. I've been doing some testing and it seems to do everything I want.
