Add support for single file rip

Open desbma opened this issue 10 years ago • 3 comments

Please add support for ripping to a single audio file (ie. wav + cue).

This is IMO the only major feature that is missing compared to other secure rippers.

+1. I'm looking longingly at abcde right now because of this lack.

I'd rather rip from CD to a single-file backup, then put away the physical CD, then extract from single file to per-track files periodically as needed for better metadata and for playback convenience.

I concur .... this plus a simple GUI to retouch metadata pulled from freedb (year/genre/album/artist/song names). For classical music where inter-track gaps need to be preserved single file flac +cue is still the only solution that is guaranteed to work well with most media players (kodi/xbmc in my case).

This is the only reason why I'm still stuck with wine+EAC in my linux desktop. Hoping to be able to migrate to morituri and leave EAC behind

I should clarify my desire. I'd like morituri to rip a CD with high accuracy to a single file or few files that will do two things:

  1. Be a CD backup, i.e. permit me to use some tool on the backup, generating a replacement CD with identical table of contents to the original CD, and
  2. Be a source for format conversions and splitting into tracks for tagging, playing, etc.

Morituri needn't take on the task of generating the replacement CD, as long as a reasonable tool chain leads to some other way of generating the CD. And for my preference, Morituri needn't take on the task of metadata editing; taggers like MusicBrainz Picard are well equipped to do that.
