Rip a CD to MP3 with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

There are some teaching materials for children's lessons that you can proceed while listening to the CD, but it was troublesome and troublesome to listen to this with a component or CD player every time, so make it MP3 and store it on the DLNA server (Buffalo NAS). , I tried to listen to it from the DLNA client (VLC) of the tablet.

Rip & MP3 encoding

Asunder + lame According to the teachings of my predecessors, the combination of "as under" and "lame" seems to be the strongest in Ubuntu, so I obediently follow this.

$ sudo apt install asunder lame

The version was like this.

$ sudo apt list | grep asunder
asunder/bionic,now 2.9.2-1 amd64 [Installation complete]

$ lame --version
LAME 64bits version 3.100 (http://lame.sf.net)
:
$

Launch [Asunder CD] from the launcher. By default, it is encoded in ogg format, so open [Settings] → [Encoding] and check MP3. Bit rate is your choice.

You can also get information from CDDB, so open the [Details] tab and open it.

--Server: freedbtest.dyndns.org --Port: 80

Set respectively.

After that, insert your favorite CD, and when the song title etc. are displayed correctly, it will rip and MP3 encode with [Suck out].

Goobox When I was browsing the internet, I saw an app called "Goobox".

In addition to being able to rip and MP3 encode by itself, it is also possible to acquire metadata such as album images in response to MusicBrainz as music information.

So I installed it from Ubuntu software, but I can't find the MP3 encoding when I boot it. When I investigated "Why", the latest version with MP3 and MusicBrainz support is "3.6.0", while Ubuntu 18.04 provides "3.4.2" which does not implement these functions. It was.

Ubuntu 20.04LTS provides 3.6.0, so it's one way to make it 20.04LTS, but that's not the case.

As another option, I knew that I could bring a set of sauces from the official website and make it myself, but I thought it would be different (for now) to run there, so I decided to forgo it.

MP3 tagging

This would be sufficient under normal circumstances, but this "learning CD information" is rarely found in CDDB, or even if it is occasionally found, the information is out of date or slightly different.

Since the song title is not an important factor for my use, I think it is enough to know only the track number, but it is children who study using it, so children must not get lost. , MP3 tagging app was also introduced.

EasyTag This is also said to be a long-established store, and it was registered in the Ubuntu software, so I installed it.

However, I don't know why, but even if I reduce the size of the window to the maximum, the bottom edge of the window extends off the screen, and there is no full-screen display button, so I can't display all the information.

I don't think there is much information at the bottom, but it's kind of unpleasant to use it in this state, so I gave up EasyTag early.

Wine+Mp3Tag I used "Mp3Tag" on Windows, so I was looking for the same feeling of use as this, but by the way, I introduced it because I have Wine in it.

Mp3Tag is also compatible with MusicBrainz and has a higher probability of hitting information than CDDB, so it is useful not only for tagging but also for this point.

So far, I haven't seen any garbled characters, and it feels like it's working properly.

Miscellaneous feelings

――This is another step closer to how to use it on your own Windows PC. ――Once you explain how to use VLC to children, you can use it without hesitation after that. Is this the power of the digital generation?
