[Cdrdao-devel] New cdrdao utility: toc2mp3

[Andreas M. <an...@da...>]

Hi all,

I've just committed a new utility 'toc2mp3'. As the name says it will
convert a disk image of an audio CD, given by a toc-file and the 
referenced data file, to a set of mp3 files. LAME is used as encoder.
Currently, the constant bit rate is the only configurable option
of the mp3 encoder. We can easly add more options if required.

For each track specified in the toc-file a separate mp3 file will
be created. The mp3 encoder is setup so that the mp3 files can be
played in order without having a gap between them. The names of the
mp3 files are constructed from CD-TEXT data if available. The CD-TEXT
data will also be used to create ID3v2 tags. Just as reminder: you can
use 'cdrdao read-cddb <toc-file>' to automatically add CD-TEXT data to a
toc-file.

To compile toc2mp3 you will need the latest mp3lame library (3.92),
see http://www.mp3dev.org/.
Older version will probably work, too, but I did not check that.
Use the configure option --disable-lame-test to skip the version test if
you want to try older versions.

Hope you enjoy it.

Regards,
Andreas
