It only got up to 69° F today, so I am compiling this for OS X.

Sounds tough... ;-)

Let me know how that works out, I may want to do that myself and use it to control the Sonore from OSX.

Do you Americans have to be told to expect winter weather in winter?

It's 65 F in the south of the UK, much the same as mid summer. We don't really have any proper weather at all.

I compiled it for 10.7, the command-line only version. I can't get the ruby-gtk+2 bindings to work, but I think it should on 10.6.

I think the ripper is basically a ruby wrapper for cdparanoia, which XLD also uses. If there is a difference between this and iTunes, I suspect it would be the cdparanoia settings.

Do your tires freeze to the floor of the parking lot during a January evening concert?

Rubyripper uses cdparanoia as a tool, but does additional checking even on top of cdparanoia. So you could call it superparanoia

HAHA

Thats about it too. 1 cd is averaging about an hour for me at the moment.

you compiled RubyRipper or GMPC?

pour water around them while the adults are inside listening!

;-)

edit: we have a very good world class Symphony Orchestra up here in MN.

1 hour per Cd isn't too bad, after all - it's what it would take to play it at normal speed...

I compiled the command-line version of RubyRipper for OS X 10.7. What is GMPC?

Gnome Media Player Controller

It is what I use to connect to, and control MPD which plays the music on Linux.

I have heard it is possible to install it on OSX, but I'll be damned if I know how to do that.

edit: I posted a screen cap of GMPC up above.

You can install gnome and/or gtk+2 with the fink package management system. I can help if you decide you want to. Gnome runs a lot of background processes, so I would be shocked if it resulted in a sonic improvement. But I have been shocked before.

all it would do is act as a controller for a separate MPD server on a separate computer or Sonore. Like mPad but on a computer.
