#### Ripping your cd's on your server
  
My cd-drive on my regular device isn't working as it should, so I was searching for other options to rip my cd's.
Since I save all my cd's on my fileserver which is a T60 with optical drive I went installing *abcde* on it.
Was already also thinking about to automate it. Insert your cd you want to rip and the server saves it automaticaly in your musiccollection.
Let's see if this will happen... :^)  
  
If you use Alpinelinux as me, you're able to just install abcde with apk. I always save my music in *.flac. If you want to use another format you probably need to install some dependencies...  
  
```
apk update && apk add abcde cdrkit flac
```  
  
Add your user to the group *cdrom*  
  
```
adduser $user cdrom
```
  
#### Customize abcde.conf  
  
copy the config to your homedir  
  
```
cp /etc/abcde.conf ~/.abcde.conf
nano ~/.abcde.conf
```
  
Search for *OUTPUTDIR* , *OUTPUTTYPE* and modify it for your needs.
Also change *CDDBMETHOD* to "cddb" and *CDDBURL* to "http://gnudb.gnudb.org/~cddb/cddb.cgi"
