Greetings!

Here are some notes about rip in the short
and condensed form:

The file "rip" is a perl script which must be
executable to work correctly. If it is not
in this state, do a "chmod 755 rip".

The CDDB/CDDB_get perl module is included for 
convenience as it is not likely to be 
common, yet, and makes the rip script that
much more enjoyable. Installation instructions
for this perl module are found within
its tarball.

The installation of rip is simple and 
covered in the file INSTALLING. It boils
down to a "cp" or "mv" of the file "rip"
to some place on your $PATH. If you are 
root, go ahead and place it in /bin
or in /usr/bin. It's that simple.

Currently, rip supports the following
list of CD and MP3 tools:

cdparanoia
bladeenc
lame
gogo
cddb.pl

If you're favorite isn't on the list,
just let me know and I'll see what I
can do. There are plans in the works
to try to get cdda2wav working with
rip as well, though cdparanoia is
quite common and this may not get done.

In any case, have a pleasurable rip.

Greg
