RipIT

This release adds options to use Musepack and ffmpeg (e.g. for apple lossless) and provides a cover to add cover art to the tags. Various artist styles can be detected and tags will be written accordingly. To manipulate the track counter in file names, use the option trackoffset. Cue sheets can be written and detection of ISRCs for submission to Musicbrainz is supported.

This version solves a somehow persistent bug in which encoder qualities were not read out from the configuration file. Furthermore, the configuration file should not be overwritten during installation.

Ghost songs can now get their names if the track names contain a slash separating the track and the ghost song. Some minor bugs in cd.toc generation were fixed.

RipIT now supports the use of musicbrainz for tagging the files and formats like Musepack and mp4als. Options were added for managing the process in cases where no DB entry is found or discs are already ripped. Only spans of tracks may be ripped and when done, a command may be executed. With the --book option, all tracks are ripped into one m4b file and a chapter mark file is created. In addition to a cd.toc file, an inf file can be created for burning sound files with CD-Text.

Beside 2 new options (normcmd to specify the command for normalize and uppercasefirst to change each word to first letter uppercase), many other options have been enhanced. The same encoder can be chosen more than once to encode the same format at different qualities. Of course, the options dirtemplate and tracktemplate accept more variables to ensure different directory names for each kind of encoding. The option ghost has been improved and tries to delete very short empty tracks. The option paranoia now has one more switch to allow normal ripping (with paranoia), and in case of failure retries once without.
