DESCRIPTION

The programs fdlscat, fdmotd, fdquery, fdrip, fdsites and fdoggenc use Net::FreeDB2 modules to obtain information from FreeDB/CDDB servers and to process it.

All these programs are implemented with a single Perl script which is intended as an example on how to use the Net::FreeDB2 modules. Hence there is a ceratin degree of simplification in the options parsing.

Options:

--h

Show usage.

--i

Input file. No default.

--o

Output file. Defaults to STDOUT.

--dev

CD device. Defaults to Net::FreeDB2's default.

--oggenc_b

Bitrate for OGG encoding. See oggenc.

--span

Span to rip or encode. Defaults to all tracks on CD.

Examples: 3-7 : from 3 until 7 -7 : from 1 until 7 7- : from 7 until the end of the CD 7 : 7 only 7-7 : 7 only

--protocol

The communication protocol: HTTP or CDDBP. Defaults to Net::FreeDB2's default.

--client_name

Client name. Defaults to fdcmds.

--client_version

Client version. Defaults to 0.5.0.

--freedb_host

FreeDB/CDDB host. Defaults to Net::FreeDB2's default.

--freedb_port

Port on FreeDB/CDDB host. Defaults to Net::FreeDB2's default.

--freedb_cgi

Cgi on FreeDB/CDDB HTTP host. Defaults to Net::FreeDB2's default.

--proxy_host

Proxy host.

--proxy_port

Port on proxy host. Defaults to Net::FreeDB2's default.

--proxy_user

User name for proxy host.

--proxy_passwd

Password for user on proxy host. Prompted for if empty and --proxy_host and --proxy_user are set.

SEE ALSO

fdcdi

EXAMPLE

Quick and dirty rip: $ fdrip

Slightly more sophisticated rip: $ fdcdi --o cd-tech.cddb $ fdquery --i cd-tech.cddb --o cd-query.cddb $ # Edit file cd-query.cddb $ fdrip --i cd-query.cddb

BUGS

None known (yet).
