* Insert a CD, fire up jack:
$ jack
Now watch it work. It's fun for a while. After having finished, you have
the follwing files on your HD: track_01.mp3, track_02.mp3, ...,
track_nn.mp3 plusjack.toc, jack.freedb, jack.progress. The last three are
used to store the state jack is in so it can resume work when
interrupted.
* Jack will create a directory called jack-xxxxxxxx for you, there it
stores all the file for the CD whose id is xxxxxxxx. After a freedb query
this directory is renamed to something human readable, like "Artist -
Title".
* When jack is interrupted, call it again using the same commandline as
before to resume work, in this case:
$ jack
* The WAV files have been deleted. If you want jack to keep them, try
$ jack -k
* Now let's try a freedb query:
$ jack -q
when succesful the files are now renamed to something more readable and
have been ID3 tagged accordingly. jack.freedb contains the queried freedb
entry, the original file has been backed up to jack.freedb.bak.
* The query failed? Ok, contribute! edit the freedb template:
$ vi jack.freedb
Note: the DTITLE should be set to
Artist / Name Of Album
or
Various Artist / Name Of Compilation
when adding a compilation, use
Artist - Title Of Track
for the track titles. Do not delete any lines from the template. Do not
change the numbers. Yes the TTITLEs start at 0 and end one track too
early. Read the freedb documentation.
* now activate the entries:
$ jack -R
now the files have been renamed and tagged. Check the names two or three
times. Typo made? No problem, you can alway undo the file renaming with
$ jack -u
Note that the ID3 tags are not undone. Fix the freedb file and again, use
$ jack -R
to activate your changes. When you are sure the freedb file is suitable
for submission, submit it (via e-mail (option -m) or via HTTP POST
(option --submit). When using the former, sendmail must be installed and
working on your machine! If you're on a dial-up, you can use the -
m option to queue submits, provided sendmail is set up accordingly):
$ jack -m
or
$jack --submit
Those were the basics. Now some more advanced examples:
* All in one: query, rip, encode, cleanup:
$ jack -Q --remove
* query any time while working:
$ jack
and, from another shell:
$ jack -d -Q
* query for unknown MP3s:
$ jack -q -g track_*.mp3
* rip from image, first, create the image:
$ cdrdao read-cd --datafile data.cdr data.toc
then make MP3s from the image:
$ jack -f data.toc
more to follow.
