Title: CD Ripping
Post by: David Sydney on August 30, 2024, 03:38:43 am

11) CD Ripping. I use both versions and I can only effectively rip CDs effectively on the Windows version action menu, then I have to sych my 2x 8TB media drives, to pull it accross to the Linux version and now my main system. Linux version may be able to do this but I have not had it working effectively as yet (~ 12months of trying to pull my CD library in and replace old mp3 with FLAC files).

CD Ripping works on Linux for me?  Can you describe what specifically is not working?

Sorry - I thought I had posted this on reply to "Feature parity..." thread. Sorry I cant quote links correctly - many years here in the forum but this funky post editor dialog still confuses me.

Thanks mwillems.
Basically the Linux version has trouble recognising disks. In the attachment here I have loaded a 'Shaggy' CD into the drive /dev/sr0. JRiver sees the name of the disk but does not recognise its audio CD and still says 'Insert a disk' in the Rip Disk dialog. Perhaps because its a mixed audio CD with some data on it that was poular in the 90's or something - but I get this often even with straight Audio CD (no data files).

Windows version never has this confusion and will pick it up and rip it with no problem.

On a related note, another bug: device mounts are only accessible if they are present at MC startup. If you mount a device after MC has started it is not detected.

This just got me again too. Just picked up Billy Bragg & Wilco Mermaid Avenue I/II used from a local record shop, and Mermaid Avenue I ripped beautifully, and the second one has no files on it according to MC32  :( :(.

IIRC on linux there can be an issue if the CD is automounted by the DM. You might have to disable that.
