-
- This is Sound Juicer, a CD ripping tool using GTK+ and GStreamer.
-
- Requirements:
- * GNOME 2.14 Platform (libgnomeui, gconf, libglade, libnautilus-burn)
- * GStreamer 0.10 and above
-
- Do the usual configure/make/make install malarky, and run "sound-juicer" in
- $(prefix)/bin or "Sound Juicer CD Extractor" in Applications -> Sound & Video.
-
- If the CD lookup is returning weird data, export MUSICBRAINZ_DEBUG
- before running sound-juicer to turn debugging on in MusicBrainz. This
- will show the chat between Sound Juicer and the MusicBrainz servers.

- Common Problems
- ===============
-
- "Sound Juicer can't see my CD drive!"
-
- Sound Juicer queries the kernel for CD drives, so you don't need to know the
- device name. For this to work you'll need some kernel modules loaded: either
- ide-cd (for IDE drives) or sg (for SCSI drives).
-
-
- "Sound Juicer doesn't start, it can't find a plugin to access the CD drive!"
-
- You need the GStreamer cdparanoia plugin. Most distributions should ship this
- with GStreamer, if you built it youself check you have the cdparanoia headers
- installed.
-
-
- "I cannot encode to MP3!"
-
- To encode to MP3 you need the GStreamer Lame plugin. Most distributions don't
- ship this due to patents and licence fees, so you will have to build lame
- yourself, and then rebuild gstreamer-plugins. Details of the pipeline
- required is in the documentation.
-
-
- "It won't rip my CD!"
-
- Try ripping the cd with cdparanoia, cdda2wav, grip, or any other CD ripper. If
- these work it is possible to rip the CD so file a bug with Sound Juicer. If
- none of these work, you've probably got a copy protected CD which your drive
- won't read. If it does work, try different output formats in Sound Juicer and
- if some work while others don't, file a bug explaining what happens.
