Graphical frontend for Audio CD ripping and encoding.

• Easy to use graphical user interface to rip and encode music from compact disc tracks at once
• Support for several formats : WAV, MP3, Ogg Vorbis and FLAC encoding
• Uses CDDB to get information from Internet (album and tracks)
• Finds all connected cdrom drives automatically
• Compilation and installation from source is so easy ;)
• Experimental support for MusicBrainz metadata and downloading covers from Amazon

Binary packages are often outdated. You should definitely build from source. Don't worry, it's very easy ! The provided script easy-make is here help you. Just run ./easy-make.sh in a terminal and follow the instructions.

We are looking for packagers.

You can download old debian packages at http://sourceforge.net/projects/irongrip/.

• They are compatible with Ubuntu 10.04 and above.
• They are compatible with Linux Mint 9 and above.
• They should also work on Debian 6 and above.

• Clone the git repository or download the source tarball.
• Go into the IronGrip source directory and run ./easy-make.sh in a terminal
• Follow the instructions:

  USAGE: ./easy-make.sh <clean|build|package|setup|rundeps>
  
	setup  : install required deb packages for building
	build  : configure and compile this project
	package: create a Debian package for this project
	clean  : remove the files created by the 'build' action
	rundeps: install recommended deb packages for running

This project is still young, it needs your feedback ;)

To make it short, any Linux distribution released after 2007 should be compatible.

• Linux
• GTK+ 2.12 or greater
• Glib 2.16 or greater
• Libcddb 1.3.2 source code is included. http://libcddb.sourceforge.net/
• Cdparanoia (for Audio CD ripping). http://www.xiph.org/paranoia/
• LAME (for MP3 support). http://lame.sourceforge.net/
• FLAC (for FLAC encoding). http://flac.sourceforge.net/
• Vorbis tools (for Ogg Vorbis encoding) http://vorbis.com/

To install Cdparanoia, Lame and flac from a terminal, type the following commands:

• sudo apt-get install cdparanoia
• sudo apt-get install lame
• sudo apt-get install flac
• sudo apt-get install vorbis-tools

First of all, you will need the 'GNU toolchain' to build the project (gcc, make, autotools...). To compile the sources, you may also need the -dev or -devel version of GTK+.

On Ubuntu, you can just run the following commands to install all requirements:

• sudo apt-get install dh-make
• sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
• sudo apt-get install intltool

On Fedora, you may have to install gtk+2-devel:

• yum install gtk+2-devel

First, you should install all the build dependencies. Then, from the top directory, run: ./easy-make.sh build

If you get errors, it's probably a missing GNU tool or dependency. You can run the compiled program from the 'src' subdirectory.

The following distributions are expected to work with IronGrip:

• Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and above (32bit and 64bit)
• Any Ubuntu derivative of version 8.04 and above (e.g. Linux Mint 5 and up)
• Fedora 10 and above
• All Linux distributions with the above requirements (not tested yet)

The following distributions are used for developing IronGrip:

• Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS
• Fedora 10
• Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS (32 bit and 64 bit), used also for creating packages.
• Ubuntu 12.04 LTS / Linux Mint 13 LTS
• Ubuntu 13.10 / Linux Mint 16

IronGrip is a stripped-down (and experimental) fork of the Asunder project. The Asunder program is a graphical Audio CD ripper and encoder for Linux. Asunder's project homepage : http://littlesvr.ca/asunder . I would like to thank the authors and contributors of the Asunder project for sharing their work under GPL. If you're looking for a stable audio CD ripper and encoder with lots of encoding formats, then you should use Asunder instead of IronGrip. Asunder's packages are available for several linux distributions.
