My significant other wanted a local streaming option where they could control the songs. So I started adding our music to Jellyfin.
Rip a CD
Install abcde and its requirements:
- sudo apt-get install abcde eyed3 lame flac id3v2
Modify abcde with the latest patch:
- https://github.com/glanois/abcde/pull/2/files
- Otherwise the mp3 files will not be tagged because eyeD3 will exit with the following error:
- Unknown genre ID: 255
The options I use with abcde:
- -o
- output types
- flac (lossless audio)
- mp3 (small portable version)
- -p
- leading 0s on track numbers
- -G
- get album art
- -B
- embed album art
- -V
- verbose
- -N
- don't prompt
- -d
- CD/DVD/Bluray device to use
Create a ripcd.sh script to automate the rip:
- cd Music
- echo -e '#!/usr/bin/sh\n\nabcde -o flac,mp3 -p -G -B -V -N -d "$@"\n' >> ripcd.sh
Run the rip:
- cd Music
- sh ripcd.sh /dev/sr0
If you only want to rip a specific track:
- cd Music
- sh ripcd.sh /dev/sr0 1
Add Album to Jellyfin
Add a Library of Music type
Jellyfin was doubling up tracks as it listed both the flac and mp3. To solve this, I created a .ignore file that contained *.mp3 and placed it in each album folder that had this issue
