-RipIT is used to create MPEG-1 Layer 3 (mp3) using Lame, or uses Flac (flac),
-Ogg Vorbis (ogg), Faac (m4a), Musepack (mpc), mp4als (als), Wavpack (wv) or
-ffmpeg to convert audio files (wav) extracted from an audio CD.
-It is a console based front-end (no GUI here), written in Perl, for these
-programs (which must be installed -- at least one out of each category):
+ripit (command line audio CD ripper)
-* dagrab, cdparanoia or cdda2wav (tosha and cdd are also supported)
-for ripping the audio CD tracks
-* Lame, OggVorbis, Flac or Faac, Musepack, mp4als, Wavpack or ffmpeg for
-encoding the wav files to a compressed format
