I typically change the location of my music folder and, unfortunately, the Preferred format for any tracks that I extract from my audio CDs. Your choices are CD Quality, Lossless (using the FLAC codec), CD Quality, Lossy (using the Ogg container format and Vorbis codec), Voice, Lossless (using the standard WAV file format), and Voice, Lossy (using the Ogg container format and Vorbis codec, but at a lower quality level). Preferred Format: Enables you to specify the file format in which extracted audio files are written. The default value, Number - Title, is a good setting to use, because this makes it easy for you to create playlists that follow the original track order of your CDs. By default, the tracks of each CD are written in a folder with the name of the CD, which is itself a subdirectory of a folder with the artist's name.įile Name: Enables you to specify the format for the file name used for each audio track that you extract. This section provides the following settings:įolder Hierarchy: Enables you to specify the folder hierarchy in which Sound Juicer creates the audio files that it extracts. ■ Library Structure: Enables you to specify how the audio files that you extract from CDs will be organized in your music library. Ask your users not to copy music from this directory, lest the RIAA sue you for a few million dollars.
If you want to be really clever, you can either mount a shared network directory as / home/music using NFS or share a local / home/music directory via Samba so that users of all systems on your local network have access to your music. This also simplifies backups of all of the CDs that all users of your system have extracted. Though a folder named Music is automatically created for this purpose in each user's home directory, I tend to create a publicly writable directory called / home/music on my systems, to make it easier for multiple users to access a centralized music collection. ■ Library Location: Enables you to select the folder in which you want extracted audio to be stored. This dialog enables you to change the following settings: To specify the location to which the audio files that you extract will be saved and the format in which they will be saved, click the Music tab, which is shown in Figure 19-32. To display this dialog, select the Edit C> Preferences menu command.
This is done through Rhythmbox's Preferences dialog. While Rhythmbox is extracting the contents of an audio CD and converting each track to a file, it displays progress information in the lower-left corner of the Rhythmbox dialog.īefore ripping a CD, however, you may want to specify the format of the audio files that Rhythmbox creates, the location in which it creates them, and so on. Ripping CDs in Rhythmbox is almost exactly like playing them (as shown in Figure 19-25), with the exception of the fact that you click the Extract button rather than the Play button to start the process.
