Audex

NOTE! **I'm going to publish first working beta of Audex 0.80 (works with KDE 4.4 (SC)) soon (expected in the end of january 2010). Please be patient. Thank you!**

Audex is an audio grabber tool for CD-ROM drives based on KDE 4.

Audex creates profiles for LAME, OGG Vorbis (oggenc), FLAC, MP4/M4A/AAC (faac) and RIFF WAVE. Please install your favorite encoder.
Of course for WAVE no external encoder is needed!
Beyond you can define custom profile, which means, that audex works together with commmand line encoders in general.

Some features are:
* Extracting with CDDA Paranoia. So you have quite perfect audio quality.
* Extracting and encoding run parallel.
* Filename editing with local and remote CDDB/FreeDB database.
* Metadata correction tools like capitalize etc.
* Multi-profile ripping (with one commandline-encoder per profile).
* Fetch covers from the internet and store them in the database.
* Create playlists, cover and template-based-info files in target directory.
* Creates ripping and encoding protocols.
* Transfer files with KDE KIO-Slaves.


IMPORTANT NOTE: If you upgrade to Version 0.70 please delete your old configuration file:
rm ~/.kde4/share/config/audexrc

NOTE: CDDB/FreeDB submit will work as soon as kdemultimedia libs are patched.
