Hi there,
I am scratching my head here
... nowhere in the "manual" do I see how to rip a CD to the hard-drive ... or a DVD for that matter.
I am sure XBMC should be able to do it ... maybe with a hidden plugin somewhere, but I see nothing in the UI to suggest how to do it either ..
Can someone help here ..
Thanks
I think Settings -> Music -> CD Ripping has the settings. Choose the encoder, and pick a destination folder.
Put in a CD.
Go to the root of the music files view, click the CD source so you get a list of tracks.
On the left panel there should be a Rip CD button.
This is from memory, so please verify that I'm correct, and if I am, please start a wiki manual page on this.
Hi, I have all the correct settings in "Settings" as you say.
However, when I put a CD in, it does not show up in the root of "Music"
all I see there is my music collection (past ripped stuff) and "Add Source", if I go
into "add source" I don't see it either.
It's weird. The only way I have ever been able to play CD's or DVD's is with the play icon (bottom left of screen) on the main menu page .. not having used xbmc before I did not know what to expect. Should the CD show up in "Music"
How do I get the CD to show up as a source?
Thanks.
Ah. You're not seeing the CD source at the root of music files. The disc should be detected and be automatically added as a source to the root. What OS are you using?
** edit **
I just tested with r29461 on Windows. Once a valid disc is recognized, the drive auto appears in the root source list, for me as "D: (AUDIO-CD)". Confluence doesn't have a Rip CD button in the skin. To rip the entire disc, I had to highlight the CD source, and choose "Rip Disc" from the context menu. I also noticed that if you browse the disc, you can choose "Rip Track" from the context menu on a single song.
I suspect your using linux which has some issues with the auto sources for discs.
Thanks Guys, Yes I am using linux.
@
ronie Thanks for the link. I added a new source "cdda://local/01.cdda" and now
my drive shows up as a source and I can see all the tracks.
Highlighting the source and bringing up the context menu gives me a rip option, however when I use this I get no feedback as to what it is doing ... I don't know if it failed, or it is happening in the background.
I will check the log..
Cheers,

You should get a popup showing the progress of each track.
Ok, it looks like it starts then exits for some reason, here is the log:

Any idea's
Does Xbmc have write permissions to that folder?
Ah, looks like it is the remote sending two quick events on the one key press.
I did it with the keyboard, and it worked fine ...
Actually come to think of it, I have a similar issue with play/pause starting/stopping, I think there is an issue with my lirc events ..
Edit: Hey, by the way, how do I get it to save in the format Artist/Album .... at the moment it is Album ..
Also, the setting "Lame/Extreme" gives me a .mp3 file, I would like a .flac file, how do I do that.
To save as Artist/Album/TrackNo.Title.ext change the track path format string to something like %A/%B/%N.%T
And I think the only valid encoders are LAME for mp3, wave, and Vorbis for ogg vorbis. If you want to rip as FLAC, I think you'll need to do it outside of Xbmc.
Great thanks, wish the %A%B stuff was documented somewhere ....
Shame about the flac .. it's the only format I want to save in .... I seem to remember someone created a ticket/patch for flac support ... but it hasn't appeared in testing branch yet ..
Cheers,
B

you should be able to change it in:
Settings > Music > Audio CDS > Track naming template

i think xbmc can do mp3/ogg/wav but no flac encoding.
You're right. This should be documented. So, here is my interpretation of CLabelFormatter::GetMaskContent which translates those % codes into values. Some apply to music, some apply to videos, some apply to both.
Would you kindly document it on the Wiki now? Post the link, so I can update it when I do more research on those strange ones.
%N = Track Number
%S = Disc Number (this comes from TPOS ID3 tag)
%A = Artist
%B = Album
%T = Title (Song, Movie, or Episode)
%Z = TV Show Title
%G = Genre
%Y = Year (for video this in order: First Aired date, Premiered date, or simple Year)
%F = Filename
%L = Label (which is not always directly derived from the Filename)
%D = Duration
%I = Size
%J = File Date
%Q= File Time
%R = Rating
%C = Program Count (I think this only used by playlists to show their natural order)
%K = Movie Title (probably deprecated since %T also works)
%M = Episode Count (used at the season listing I believe)
%E = Episode as a number
%P = Episode Production Code
%H = Episode in 01x01 format
%O = MPAA Rating
%U = Movie Studio
