abjscdef

A better JavaScript CD encoder (FLAC).

Insert a CD and convert to FLAC w/full range of metadata tagging.

goals

1. Lights out -- no typey typey
2. Multiplatform
3. Optimized for parallel processing
4. Repeatable
5. Configurable

Current State

• Cd Ripping: Functioning
• Metadata Gathering:
  • Functioning: Album/Artist/Track/Year/Album Artwork
  • Unresolved: Genre
• Transcoding: Functioning
• Tagging: Functioning
• Stashing: Unstarted
  • todo
    • ftp to NAS
• Clean-up: Unstarted
  • todo options:
    • default: remove-wav, compress, archive
    • deep-clean: purge
    • remove-wav: remove src wav files
    • compress: compress cache dir
    • archive: move cache dir to an archive location (~/.abjscdef/completed/)
      • potentially use to identify if a cd has been ripped already, would need --ignore_archive option
• User configuration: Unstarted
  • todo: expose configuration as code--citizen developery! put in convenient home dir spot.
• Backlog transcoding & tagging: started
  • framework in place: If any tracks have been ripped already, then those ripped tracks are a backlog...see if they need transcoding, tagging, etc. This feature will activate automatically.
  • unstarted: Once cleanup is functioning: are there albums outside of the current album that have work left? This feature will need a command line param to avoid recycling a toxic rip->transcode into the current rip->transcode process. Post v1
• Multiple transcoders
  • Post v1

Version Definition:

• Alpha: Unstarted capability
• Beta: Untested capability

linux libs

• cdtool - for figuring out if a cd is in the drive. yeah, I know.
• icedax - for reading cd text...because cdparanoia can't.
• cdparanoia - cdripper...I suppose icedax has paranoia options...
• nodejs - the glue that holds it all together! >6.11

npm lib dependencies

• axios - web service middleware
• image-downloader - cover art download helper
• leven - fuzzy text matcher (used when weiging multiple metadata options)
• mkdirp - deep directory creation (local)
• wiston - logger
• yargs - cmd line param helper

npm dev lib dependencies

• esint - auto correct fmt
• jshint - improve code
