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"
