OGGEnc GT3B1 with Grip(Linux)

1 - Thanks for the reply's


I have a question:

I want to use linux to encode to Ogg, so i will use Grip (cdparanoia) to rip and encode, it's enough for me to tell grip the path of oggGT3B1 for him to start using this codec????

Another question, is there any method that i can apply vorbisgain with grip???i have tried vorbix but i don't like it much thought.

If not in the 2 answer, could you tell me another linux good proggie (all in one) that is similar to win32 EAC to substitute Grip???

I want something similar to Mp3Trim in linux, can audacity trim the Ogg without changing the file again, for instance when i have tried soundforge in win32, i put there my Mp3 file and soundforge encode again only to apply the trim, Mp3Trim was great because keep the effect of Mp3Gain (No Clip) and cut the beggining and end part only, the rest was keep the same.

I did a quick search for you and got this thread linking to OggCut, which is the equivalent of mp3directcut.  I don't know how to tell if it works for linux, as it's just a link to a file

Hope it helps a bit!

For ripping I'would recommend Jack.  It is a frontend to cdparanoia. Jack has even some support for mpc.

*it is written in python
*it is very configurable, maybe too much 
*it doesn't need X (but is better with it)
*it can "rip" virtual CD images like the ones created by cdrdao
when using cdparanoia, cdparanoia's status information is displayed for all tracks, so you can see if something went wrong (I consider this very important - no one wants uncorrected errors or skips to go into one's MP3s.
*it allows for overlapping ripping / encoding: when the first track has been ripped, it's encoder is started as well as the second track's ripping process, this "read-ahead" is of course configurable, you can have it read the whole CD and start with the next one as the first one is beeing encoded
*in on-the-fly mode, no WAVs have to be created, less space is wasted. I only recommend this if your encoder is nearly as fast as your ripper.
*it uses sophisticated disk space management, i.e. it schedules it's ripping / encoding processes depending on available space. Jack tells you if the batch will not fit on your HD. If you want, you can have it choose the optimal sequence of tracks - great if you're low on HD space
*freedb query, file renaming and id3 tagging - I know that this alone is not special, but Jack tries hard to recognize artist and title when working on a "Various Artists"-CD, so that the ID3 tag can be set correctly.
*it can resume work after it has been interrupted. If all tracks have been ripped, it doesn't even need the CD anymore, even if you want to do a freedb query. In practice, this means that you can change the CD and start another instance of Jack.
it can do a freedb query based on MP3s alone, like if you don't remember from which CD those MP3s came from

The quality option format I glommed from somewhere
which I use with grip is, for example, "-q6GT3"

I don't know if "-q6" will now give you the new encoding or the original.
