there is a "half-ready" Audex 0.8 (mainly some libs). At the moment I'm too busy unfortunately.

But within the next few days I'm going to release 0.74 beta 1. - Jan 12 2011

If this does not work or you wish another option there please report Audex and KDE Version and your distribution. Thanks. - Jan 11 2011

Is the crash reproducible? - Jan 07 2011

Utilities by marcomaniac 232 comments
So you could ask why there's rekonq, as we have konqueror already. Why someone developed dolphin for KDE3, as konqueror could do the same?
Why KDE, we have GNOME. And so on...
2. Audex Version 0.1 is from 2005 and was my first Qt4 application. I don't know, if k3b had audio cd ripping capabilities at this time.

Some people have asked for that.
But not before Audex 0.81. - Jan 18 2010

I'm sorry, but this is by now only possible with a custom command line pattern.
Best way is to create a small bash script you can use in your custom profile definition.
But Audex 0.8 will have an "clickable" option for replay gain tags.

ok, I'll keep that in mind. At the moment I'm quite busy, because I'm doing a complete rework on audex base.
And I'm going to test with external usb drives, of course.
Thanks, Marco - Dec 11 2009

Utilities by marcomaniac 232 comments
okay, I've just implemented and commited this in my working pause ;-)
So you can use a variable like this
${artist substr="true" substr_pos="0" substr_length="1"}
to fetch the first letter of the artists' name.
The resulting string that contains substr_length characters of the artists name, starting at the specified position substr_pos.
Of course you can combine this with the uppercase="true" option, in order to get the first letter upcased.
${artist substr="true" substr_pos="0" substr_length="1" uppercase="true"}
will give you e.g. "M" for the artist "meat loaf".
I haven't tested this yet, but I'm quite sure, that it works.

I'm just working on version 0.80 with full cue sheet support. I really hope I can release it before christmas.
But if you are familar with compiling just check out the most recent version from Audex from KDE playground next week. I will have implemented this feature then.
If you need more help, just write me a message here.
Thank you very much for this suggestion! - Nov 09 2009

Audex just uses in case of Linux the "normal" operating system function (statvfs) to get the free size. - Nov 09 2009

Utilities by marcomaniac 232 comments
this is a known problem with lame and utf-8. Maybe I find a way to workaround this issue (force using iso-8859-x for lame).
Thank you, best regards, Marco - Nov 09 2009

I think with the profiles you have a full control over the way how path/name are being organized.
Regards, Marco - Nov 09 2009

Utilities by marcomaniac 232 comments
there a two ways:
1. check out the most recent version of Audex from KDE SVN and compile audex:
svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/playground/multimedia/audex
mkdir build
cmake ..
make
(sudo) make install
2. define a custom profile with your own oggenc commandline.
thank you for using audex.

I'm going to check this, as soon as I get a second drive for my system.
Thank you. - Oct 18 2009

The cover should be stored in the ripping target directory after the ripping process is finished. - Oct 18 2009

Utilities by marcomaniac 232 comments
Yes, as far as I remember, this should already been done. But I will check this.
>Also it would be awesome if you could >add an option for the number of tracks >on the CD.
Do you mean as a variable in the filename mask?
Thank you. - Oct 18 2009

there are some legal problems, which I have to clarify. maybe someone can help me with this point (Germany). this sux.
so I decided just to use google image search for covers until further notice. - Sep 09 2009

Utilities by marcomaniac 232 comments
recent version compiles for me now. - Sep 09 2009

Utilities by marcomaniac 232 comments

Utilities by marcomaniac 232 comments
git clone git://github.com/marcomania/Audex.git
This version fetches covers from Google image search.
Needs somewhat testing, but it is going to be Version 0.72 beta 1.
Unfortunately I don't have the time to push Audex development. - Sep 09 2009

lame --preset help
They are called the same as in audex (medium, standard, extreme, insane)
I'm not sure, but I think with LAME the presets according to this command line settings:
--preset standard == -V 2
--preset extreme == -V 0
--preset insane == -b 320
Beyond this you can define your own profile with custom encoder and give LAME parameters you want. - Jul 17 2009

I can't promise, but if there are no bigger problems to solve I will see what I can do. - Jun 27 2009

Utilities by marcomaniac 232 comments
in debian you could solve this with
apt-get install libcparanoia-dev
for example. - Jun 27 2009

since some users reported problems with 2 cd/dvd drives in one computer, I'm going to build a system with 2 drives to test.
My systems all have only 1 drive by now.
ripping speed:
this is something depending on cdparanoia, because I use functions from this lib to extract the cdda data.
due to perfect extraction quality cdparanoia is in general somewhat slower compared to other libs. so this could be normal. - Jun 10 2009

What distribution do you use? Have you tried Version 0.71b2?
And you can execute LAME just from your bash command line. LAME binary is in $PATH variable? - Jun 02 2009

Utilities by marcomaniac 232 comments
two questions:
1. have you tried each of your two single drives?
2. what drives (manufacture, model) do you have?
maybe you can send me the complete console output. you'll find my email on the audex page.
