The dekagen bourne shell script, formerly known as ripenc, is an interactive command line tool for Linux and other Unices, that automates the whole process of ripping data from music compact discs (CD), the naming of the files, their converting into MP3 or Ogg-Vorbis format and the labelling of the MP3 files with an ID3 tag.
Music data is read from CD with a ripping program and stored on your harddisk in wav-format. After this, the wav-data is converted into MP3 format, or into Ogg-Vorbis format. Manual naming and tagging for all the files can be avoided by using the automatic CDDB lookup capability. MP3 files are labelled with ID3 tags, while Ogg-Vorbis has a proprietary labelling system.
If you run dekagen for the first time, it will look for the third-party software it requires automatically, setting its preferences accordingly. After this, dekagen will check these settings on every run, and adjust them automatically if needed.
This search will proceed according to a built-in order. If you are an administrator and going to install dekagen system-wide, you can pre-set the defaults in the lines 36-49 of the script. dekagen will then look for these programs first. Otherwise there is no need to change these values.
What's New in This Release:
Fixed bad file handling in function "newmenu", fixed re-setting of the "WHOLE" option in some cases, improved name filtering in "MANUAL" mode, and fixed (non-)capitalization of file names.
Removed non-ASCII characters from the source code and improved the quoting.
One new naming convention (#8).
