|
|
|
Whipper is a Python 2.7 CD-DA ripper, fork of the morituri project (_CDDA ripper for *nix systems aiming for accuracy over speed_). It improves morituri which development seems to have halted merging old ignored pull requests, improving it with bugfixes and new features.
|
|
|
|
Whipper is developed and tested _only_ on Linux distributions but _may_ work fine on other *nix OSes too.
|
|
|
|
In order to track whipper's current development it's advised to check its commit history (README **isn't** still complete).

|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
With the exception of an [Arch Linux package](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/whipper/) and a [Copr repository for Fedora](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mruszczyk/whipper/), whipper isn't currently available in a prepackaged form so, in order to use it, it must be built from its source code.
|
|
|
|
If you are building from a source tarball or checkout, you can choose to use whipper installed or uninstalled _but first install all the required dependencies_.
|
|
|
|
### Required dependencies
|
|
|
|
Whipper relies on the following packages in order to run correctly and provide all the supported features:
|
|
|
|
- [cd-paranoia](https://www.gnu.org/software/libcdio/), for the actual ripping
|
|
- [cdrdao](http://cdrdao.sourceforge.net/), for session, TOC, pre-gap, and ISRC extraction
|
|
- [python-gobject-2](https://packages.debian.org/en/jessie/python-gobject-2), required by `task.py`
|
|
- [python-musicbrainzngs](https://github.com/alastair/python-musicbrainzngs), for metadata lookup
|
|
- [python-mutagen](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mutagen), for tagging support
|
|
- [python-setuptools](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools), for installation, plugins support
|
|
- [python-cddb](http://cddb-py.sourceforge.net/), for showing but not using metadata if disc not available in the MusicBrainz DB
|
|
- [pycdio](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pycdio/) (to avoid bugs please use `pycdio` **0.20** & `libcdio` >= **0.90** or, with previous `libcdio` versions, `pycdio` **0.17**), for drive identification
|
|
- Required for drive offset and caching behavior to be stored in the configuration file
|
|
- [requests](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/requests) for retrieving AccurateRip database entries
|
|
- [libsndfile](http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/), for reading wav files
|
|
- [flac](https://xiph.org/flac/), for reading flac files
|
|
- [sox](http://sox.sourceforge.net/), for track peak detection
|
|
|
|
### Fetching the source code
|
|
|
|
Change to a directory where you want to put whipper source code (for example, `$HOME/dev/ext` or `$HOME/prefix/src`)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone -b master --single-branch https://github.com/JoeLametta/whipper.git
|
|
cd whipper
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Building the bundled dependencies
|
|
|
|
Whipper uses and packages a slightly different version of the `accuraterip-checksum` tool:
|
|
|
|
You can edit the install path in `config.mk`
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd src
|
|
make
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
cd ..
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Finalizing the installation
|
|
|
|
Install whipper: `python2 setup.py install`
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Whipper currently only has a command-line interface called `whipper` which is self-documenting: `whipper -h` gives you the basic instructions.
|
|
|
|
Whipper implements a tree of commands: for example, the top-level `whipper` command has a number of sub-commands.
|
|
|
|
Positioning of arguments is important:
|
|
|
|
`whipper cd -d (device) rip`
|
|
|
|
is correct, while
|
|
|
|
`whipper cd rip -d (device)`
|
|
|
|
is not, because the `-d` argument applies to the `cd` command.
|
|
|
|
~~Check the man page (`whipper(1)`) for more information.~~ (currently not available as whipper's documentation is planned to be reworked ([Issue #73](https://github.com/JoeLametta/whipper/issues/73))).
|
|
|
|
## Getting started
|
|
|
|
The simplest way to get started making accurate rips is:
|
|
|
|
1. Pick a relatively popular CD that has a good chance of being in the AccurateRip database
|
|
2. Analyze the drive's caching behavior
|
|
|
|
`whipper drive analyze`
|
|
|
|
3. Find the drive's offset.
|
|
|
|
Consult the [AccurateRip's CD Drive Offset database](http://www.accuraterip.com/driveoffsets.htm) for your drive. Drive information can be retrieved with `whipper drive list`.
|
|
|
|
`whipper offset find -o insert-numeric-value-here`
|
|
|
|
If you omit the `-o` argument, whipper will try a long, popularity-sorted list of drive offsets.
|
|
|
|
If you can not confirm your drive offset value but wish to set a default regardless, set `read_offset = insert-numeric-value-here` in `whipper.conf`.
|
|
|
|
Offsets confirmed with `whipper offset find` are automatically written to the configuration file.
|
|
|
|
If specifying the offset manually, please note that: if positive it must be written as a number without sign (ex: `+102` -> `102`), if negative it must include the sign too (ex: `-102` -> `-102`).
|
|
|
|
4. Rip the disc by running
|
|
|
|
`whipper cd rip`
|
|
|
|
## Configuration file documentation
|
|
|
|
The configuration file is stored according to the [XDG Base Directory Specification](
|
|
http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html)
|
|
when possible.
|
|
|
|
It lives in `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/whipper/whipper.conf` (or `$HOME/.config/whipper/whipper.conf`).
|
|
|
|
The configuration file follows python's [ConfigParser](https://docs.python.org/2/library/configparser.html) syntax.
|
|
|
|
The possible sections are:
|
|
|
|
- Main section: `[main]`
|
|
- `path_filter_fat`: whether to filter path components for FAT file systems
|
|
- `path_filter_special`: whether to filter path components for special characters
|
|
|
|
- MusicBrainz section: `[musicbrainz]`
|
|
- `server`: the MusicBrainz server to connect to, in `host:[port]` format. Defaults to `musicbrainz.org`.
|
|
|
|
- Drive section: `[drive:IDENTIFIER]`, one for each configured drive. All these values are probed by whipper and should not be edited by hand.
|
|
- `defeats_cache`: whether this drive can defeat the audio cache
|
|
- `read_offset`: the read offset of the drive
|
|
|
|
- Rip command section: `[rip.COMMAND.SUBCOMMAND]`. Can be used to change the command options default values.
|
|
**Please note that this feature is currently broken (being this way since [PR #122](https://github.com/JoeLametta/whipper/pull/92) / whipper v0.4.1).**
|
|
|
|
Example section to configure `whipper cd rip` defaults:
|
|
|
|
```Python
|
|
[rip.cd.rip]
|
|
unknown = True
|
|
output_directory = ~/My Music
|
|
track_template = new/%%A/%%y - %%d/%%t - %%n
|
|
disc_template = %(track_template)s
|
|
profile = flac
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note: to get a literal `%` character it must be doubled.
|
|
|
|
## Backward incompatible changes
|
|
|
|
- Profiles (for encoding) aren't supported anymore since ([PR #121](https://github.com/JoeLametta/whipper/pull/121) / whipper v0.5.0): now whipper encodes to FLAC
|
|
- The image retag feature has been knowingly broken since ([PR #130](https://github.com/JoeLametta/whipper/pull/130))
|
|
- Structural changes broke compatibility with existing logger plugins ([PR #94](https://github.com/JoeLametta/whipper/pull/94))
|
|
- Dropped external git submodules ([PR #31](https://github.com/JoeLametta/whipper/pull/31), [PR #92](https://github.com/JoeLametta/whipper/pull/92))
|
|
- Whipper executable name changed: from `rip` to `whipper` ([PR #70](https://github.com/JoeLametta/whipper/pull/70))
|
|
- Whipper has adopted new config/cache/state file paths ([PR #42](https://github.com/JoeLametta/whipper/pull/42))
|
|
- Now always follows XDG specifications
|
|
|
|
- Paths used when XDG environment variables are available:
|
|
- `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/whipper`
|
|
- `$XDG_CACHE_HOME/whipper`
|
|
- `$XDG_DATA_HOME/whipper`
|
|
|
|
- Paths used when XDG environment variables are **NOT** available:
|
|
- `$HOME/.config/whipper`
|
|
- `$HOME/.cache/whipper`
|
|
- `$HOME/.local/share/whipper`
|
|
|
|
- Configuration file information:
|
|
- `.moriturirc`, `morituri.conf` aren't used anymore
|
|
|
|
- When XDG environment variables are available it's located in:
|
|
- `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/whipper/whipper.conf`
|
|
|
|
- When XDG environment variables are **NOT** available it's located in:
|
|
- `$HOME/.config/whipper/whipper.conf`
|
|
|
|
- Plugins folder path:
|
|
- When XDG environment variables are available it's located in:
|
|
- `$XDG_DATA_HOME/whipper/plugins`
|
|
|
|
- When XDG environment variables are **NOT** available it's located in:
|
|
- `$HOME/.local/share/whipper/plugins`
|
|
|
|
## Running uninstalled
|
|
|
|
To make it easier for developers, you can run whipper straight from the
|
|
source checkout:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python2 setup.py develop --user
|
|
whipper -h
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Logger plugins
|
|
|
|
Whipper supports using external logger plugins to write rip `.log` files.
|
|
|
|
List available plugins with `whipper cd rip -h`. Specify a logger to rip with by passing `-L loggername`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
whipper cd rip -L what
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Official loggers
|
|
|
|
- [morituri-yamlloger](https://github.com/JoeLametta/morituri-yamllogger) - default whipper logger (provided as external logger for compatibility with morituri), yaml format

### Bug reports & feature requests
|
|
|
|
Please use the [issue tracker](https://github.com/JoeLametta/whipper/issues) to report any bugs or to file feature requests.
|
|
|
|
When filing bug reports, please run the failing command with the environment variable `WHIPPER_DEBUG` set. For example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
WHIPPER_DEBUG=DEBUG WHIPPER_LOGFILE=whipper.log whipper offset find
|
|
gzip whipper.log
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And attach the gzipped log file to your bug report.
|
|
|
|
Without `WHIPPER_LOGFILE` set, logging messages will go to stderr. `WHIPPER_DEBUG` accepts a string of the [default python logging levels](https://docs.python.org/2/library/logging.html#logging-levels).
|
|
|
|
### Developing
|
|
|
|
Pull requests are welcome.
|
|
|
|
**WARNING:** As whipper is still under heavy development sometimes I will force push (`--force-with-lease`) to the non master branches.
