How To Install jack on Debian 10
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install jack on Debian 10.
What is jack
jack is:
Jack has been developed with one main goal: making OGGs (or MP3s) without having to worry. There is nearly no way that an incomplete rip goes unnoticed, e.g. jack compares WAV and OGG file sizes when continuing from a previous run. Jack also checks your HD space before doing anything (even keeps some MB free).
Jack is different from other such tools in a number of ways:
- it supports different rippers and encoders
- it is very configurable
- it doesn’t need X
- it can “rip” virtual CD images like the ones created by cdrdao
- when using cdparanoia, cdparanoia’s status information is displayed and archived for all tracks, so you can see if something went wrong
- it uses sophisticated disk space management, i.e. it schedules its ripping/encoding processes depending on available space.
- freedb query, file renaming and id3/ogg-tagging
- it can resume work after it has been interrupted. If all tracks have been ripped, it doesn’t even need the CD anymore, even if you want to do a freedb query.
- it can do a freedb query based on OGGs alone, like if you don’t remember from which CD those OGGs came from.
- freedb submissions
