💿 CRIP(1) — bestie's guide to the terminal ripper 💿

okay so this is crip from the Debian GNU/Linux manual, and honestly? she's the main character of your CD collection. Let's get into it. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

crip — a terminal-based ripper/encoder/tagger tool 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

crip [options]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

crip is a terminal-based ripper/encoder/tagger tool for creating Ogg Vorbis/FLAC files under UNIX/Linux. That's it, that's the vibe. No GUI, no drama, just you and your terminal ripping CDs like an absolute icon. 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -h, --help — Print help and exit. The "wait what does this do again" button. 🫶
  • -v, --version — Print version of crip and exit. ✨
  • -e codec — Encode to vorbis or flac (default = vorbis).
  • -s media — Specify the source media (default = CD).
  • -g genre — Specify the music genre (default = classical). Yes bestie, default is classical, deal with it. 🎻
  • -q [on/off] — Classical-style questioning (default = off).
  • -m [on/off] — Map european to american-only chars (default = off).
  • -t [on/off] — Trim leading/tailing silence (default = off). Bye bye awkward dead air. 😭
  • -n [on/off] — Normalize the audio (default = off).
  • -V voltresh — Volume threshold for normalizing (default = 1.078) (only used when normalizing is enabled).
  • -r [on/off] — Remove files after encoding (default = on). She cleans up after herself, periodt. 🧹
  • -E editor — Editor to use (default = sensible-editor).
  • -u [on/off/both] — Use editor to name the files (default = on) (as opposed to the command-line).
  • -o flags — Flags to pass to oggenc (default = '-q 4').
  • -f flags — Flags to pass to flac (default = '--best --replay-gain').
  • -c flags — Flags to pass to cdparanoia (default = '-v -z').
  • -d device — CDrom device to read from (default = /dev/cdrom).
  • -w [on/off] — Skip the ripping (makes empty .wav files) (default = off) (useful if you already have the .wav files to encode).
  • -p [on/off] — Prompt to continue after ripping (default = off) (useful pause to edit .wav files before encoding).
  • -x [on/off] — Eject CD when done ripping (default = off)
⚠️ heads up bestie — -w literally makes empty .wav files on purpose. That's not a bug, that's the whole point. Only reach for it if you already have the .wav files to encode. 🙈
