By the way, I'm a pure-linux user, and am pretty-much only interested in solutions involving open-source software.

Cloudplayer audio format how to#

I would be grateful for any hints on how to achieve this goal. Thus I would like to re-rip my collection and store in a format that satisfies the following requirements:ġ) can be used to produce a perfect replacement for a failed CD (i.e., lossless)Ģ) individual tracks can be encoded to OGG/MP3/whatever using the rip-dataġ) rip a CD monolithically and have some method to extract the data for any particular track that is to be encodedĢ) rip tracks individually along with *all* the addition information (lead in, etc) needed to produce a perfect copy of the original CD Obviously, I cannot produce a perfect replacement for any CDs that should fail, and this bothers me. One was replaced by the publisher (Deutsche Grammophon - yay), the other was no longer available. During the process I discovered two pressed CDs that had failed, presumably because of oxidation of the aluminum layer. About 10 years ago I went through the collection and ripped to OGG (individual tracks). My CD collection now comprises about 700 CDs.
