CD rippers

[smbm]

Hi

Does anyone know of any GTK2 CD rippers that don't depend on Gnome?

GRIP and Sound Juicer seem to need to pull in loads of Gnome libs when I try and install them on Xubuntu.

At the moment I'm using abcde but would like a GUIfied ripper if possible.

Thanks

Why? adcde is great.

I know, I really like it but I'm not the only one using the computer and some other people "can't figure out that stone age technology where you have to type things" sadly.

Try Goobox

Cheers for the suggestion.

I checked it out, sadly Goobox tries to pull in all the aforementioned Gnome dependencies.

Thanks anyway.

If you don't want any Gnome dependencies, why do you want a GTK application? Why not something like KAudioCreator? Is it bad to have one Gnome-related library on a Xubuntu installation?

How about Asunder? (http://ericlathrop.com/asunder/)

There's no .deb, but you may be able to alien the SuSE RPM.


wget -c http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/9.2-i386/RPMS.suser-oc2pus/Asunder-0.1.0-0.oc2pus.2.i586.rpm
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install alien
sudo alien -i Asunder-0.1.0-0.oc2pus.2.i586.rpm

I see where you're coming from. It's not the end of the world I guess. I'm just not too keen on installing a whole (or half an) other desktop environment just for a cd ripper.

If I have to I will though I'm not that opposed to it.

Grip seems to have the least Gnome dependencies.

Asunder looks perfect.

You're the best.

I'll let you know how I get on.

[aysiu]

Yes, please do report back.

By the way, just because you see some Gnome-related libraries doesn't mean you're installing a huge chunk of an entire desktop environment. Most GTK-based applications have some Gnome-related dependencies.

Alien doesn't seem to like this rpm.

I might try building it from source tomorrow.

It's a little to here late at the moment for that kind of antics.

I see what you're saying about the Gnome libs. I just want to see if there's a more light weight alternative but which still has a gui.

If I can't get Asunder working I'll most likely install GRIP.

Personally I'm starting to get really into command line apps. Am already using abcde and ncmpc myself and am investigating mutt.

I really appreciate your help though.

Try gnormalize. There is a debian package linked from their homepage. It's a gtk2-perl frontend to cdparanoia, lame, oggenc, faac, flac, etc. So there are no gstreamer or gnome-libs depends.

Hi,

Saw a passing reference to mutt:


Am already using abcde and ncmpc myself and am investigating mutt. .

You may be interested in a guide that I have written for Ubuntu and mutt at:
