Rip from WAV to MP3 and add ID3 tags -- All with Perl
Ok - so I know I have said before that I am not much of a perl fan. ( yes it's safe, I am wearing my flame proof suit. ) I will, however, say now; I am coming around. It would seem that I am starting to see the light. I needed to extract some files from a CD I have and convert them to MP3. The CD was not made with extracting to mp3 in mind if you get my drift. It's ok, because the CD is my copy and I want to listen to it on my iPod. Regular extracting on iTunes was not working out for me. So I rolled my chair over to my trusty Linux Box and perl, id3, cdparanoia and lame. First thing I did was use cdparanoia to extract all the tracks. This went swimmingly leaving me with a folder full of files called 01.cdparanoia.wav or something just as useless. The files played ok but I needed to name them all. This particular CD was not listed on Music Brainz so I couldn't do anything fancy with FreeCDDB or whatever they call that now days. * shudder * - I had to manually edit
