mp3c - convert audio-cds to mp3 mp3c [-i <configfile>] [-b <batchfile> [-t <tmpfile/dir>]] [-d <cdrom-device>] [-v] [-n] This program is a frontend for every cdripper and mp3-encoder program. It uses CDDB-functionality for converting audio-cds to mp3. It can run in interactive and batch-mode.

-initfile <file> use alternative configfile

-batchfile <file> run in batch mode and create shell script

-tempfile <file/dir> specify a different directory for tempfiles (ripped-files), if started in batch mode (-b option given)

-device <cdrom-device> use this device (overwrites default-configuration)

-news show which things have been changed in a news version of MP3c.

-version shows version, program and other informations and exits

For detailed help take a look in the README file. Handling of interactive- mode should be obviously.

If no options are given on the command line, mp3c will run interactively. Screen is divided into TOC of cd (upper part) and status information (lower part). The following keys control mp3c in interactive mode:

PgUp, PgDn, up and down cursor, Pos1, End select a track.

Space, Del swap encoding flag

s swap artist and title

ALT+s swap artist and title on marked tracks

F1 opens online-help.

F2 opens options menu

F3 encode files

F4 encode actual file

F5 create batch-script

F12 quit program

Settings will be saved in ~/.mp3crc. You can also use /usr/local/etc/mp3crc. To use another config-file use "-i" switch when calling mp3c. Page was created for V0.31 Sometimes there is a "klick" at the beginning of mp3-files, if "on-the-fly" encoding is used together with "encoder 1.02" Matthias Hensler <wsp@gmx.de> cdparanoia(1) cdda2wav(1) mp3info(1)
