Drives Identifier

Requirements: Mac OS X v10.3.9 or later.
Optional: none.
Description: Lists available CD/DVD writers and determines their cdparanoia and, respectively, cdrdao identifiers. Even if one prefers to use cdparanoia from the command line, this script comes in handy for multiple (especially external) drives.
Comment: Part of the iTunes to cdparanoia package.

Requirements: Mac OS X v10.3.9 or later, cdparanoia.
Optional: MkConsole for monitoring.
Description: Uses cdparanoia to rip, (a) CD tracks selected in iTunes, or (b) a mounted audio CD, or (c) an audio CD, mounted or not, in a specific drive. Optionally, it does a kind of ‘secure’ ripping: it extracts the same tracks twice and builds a list of mismatches, if any. After ripping, the tracks are added to an iTunes playlist and tagged.
Comment: Main component of the iTunes to cdparanoia package.

Requirements: Mac OS X v10.3.9 or later, cdrdao.
Optional: MkConsole for monitoring.
Description: Uses cdrdao (which in turn uses the paranoia DAE libraries) to rip an audio CD to a disc image file, which can be used to burn a CD in DAO (Disc-At-Once) mode. The source CD may be selected in iTunes or in Finder, or it may be a dismounted CD in a specific drive. Optionally, it does a kind of ‘secure’ ripping: it extracts the same CD twice and builds a list of mismatches, if any.
Comment: Part of the iTunes to cdrdao package.

Requirements: Mac OS X v10.3.9 or later, cdrdao.
Optional: MkConsole for monitoring.
Description: Uses cdrdao to burn a disc image file to CD-R in DAO (Disc-At-Once) mode (audio CDs, VCD, etc). Also may be used to read a CD-R’s ATIP code.
Comment: Part of the iTunes to cdrdao package.

Requirements: Mac OS X v10.3.9 or later, bchunk, toc2cue.
Optional: MkConsole for monitoring.

Comment: Part of the iTunes to cdrdao package.

Requirements: Mac OS X v10.3.9 or later, flac, metaflac.
Optional: MkConsole for monitoring.

Comment: Part of the iTunes to FLAC package.

Requirements: Mac OS X v10.3.9 or later, flac, metaflac.
Optional: MkConsole for monitoring.

Comment: Part of the iTunes to FLAC package.

Requirements: Mac OS X v10.3.9 or later, flac, metaflac, toc2cue or cueconvert.
Optional: MkConsole for monitoring.

Comment: Part of the iTunes to FLAC package.

Requirements: Mac OS X v10.3.9 or later, flac, metaflac, cue2toc or cueconvert.
Optional: MkConsole for monitoring.

Requirements: Mac OS X v10.3.9 or later, InDesign CS or later.
