This tab allows to you configure Grip's ripping capabilities.
Ripper — This allows you to select from various presets configured for various Rippers. By default, "grip (cdparanoia)" is used, which rips with Grip's builtin version of cdparanoia.
Disable paranoia — If this option is checked, Grip will disable cdparanoia's verification system. This will make ripping approximately twice as fast, but can result in errors. Unless you are very confident that your drive is rock solid, it is recommended that you do not select this option.
Disable extra paranoia — If this option is selected, Grip will only do overlap checking to ensure proper alignment of reads. It will not verify reads for errors.
Disable scratch detection / repair — These options allow you to determine whether Grip attempts to detect scratches on the CD, and whether or not it attempts to repair the scratches it detects.
Calculate gain adjustment — If this option is checked, Grip will calculate a suggested gain adjustment for tracks as it rips. Computed values can then be passed to external programs via the '%r' and '%R' switches.
Generic SCSI device — If you are using a SCSI drive, or an IDE drive under SCSI emulation, you need to specify the generic SCSI device to be used. Make sure that your user account has access to this device, or Grip will not be able to rip.
Rip file format — This allows to you configure the filename and path that Grip rips files to. The list of available switches can be found in the section called Configuration (%) switches.
If you select a ripper other than Grip's builtin cdparanoia, the configuration dialog will look slightly different:
Ripping executable — This is the full path to the executable to be used for ripping
Rip command-line — This is the command-line to be passed to the ripping program. The list of available switches can be found in the section called Configuration (%) switches.
The second sub-tab contains addition options that you can specify to configure the ripping process.
Rip 'nice' value — This allows you to set the 'nice' level to run the ripping process at. This changes the scheduling priorty of the process. The range goes from -20 (highest priority) to 19 (lowest).
Max non-encoded .wav's — This allows you to specify the maximum number of ripped wave files that can accumulate if ripping is proceding faster than encoding can keep up. It is useful to keep unencoded .wav files from taking up too much disk space.
Auto-rip on insert — If this option is checked, Grip will automatically begin ripping all tracks on a disc when it is inserted.
Beep after rip — If this option is checked, Grip will emit a beep when ripping is finished.
Auto-eject after rip — If this option is checked, Grip will eject the disc after ripping is finished.
Auto-eject delay — This allows you to specify a delay (in seconds) before auto-ejection will happen. This is useful on some drives that need time to spin down before ejection can occur.
Wav filter command — This allows you to specify a program (full path to executable, followed by the command-line) to run after a file has been ripped, but before it is encoded. This is useful for such tasks as normalization. The list of available switches can be found in the section called Configuration (%) switches.
Disc filter command — This operates much like the Wav filter command, except that it is run once after an entire disc has finished ripping.
