Windows: extracting CD-audio for a funeral: CDex, MP3Gain (a replaygain like implementation which modifies MP3 metadata) plus UI wrapper and audacity (for combining tracks)

It has been a very long time since I played around with ripping audio from audio CDs and wrote software for audio handling. I lost access to that source code some 20 years ago, so part of this post is from memory. Hopefully that is still good memory (:

Yes, I am one of those old farts that still has computing equipment with optical drives (:

Much has improved since then, so one needs to write far less code nowadays as a of tooling is now open source or has been open source for quite some time. The hardest part was finding back CDex (which I think is still very useful especially as it handles not-so-well-handled audio CDs quite OK).

Anyway: I didn’t document much of my audio history. The only post I mentioned CDex in was Streaming your mp3 collection through an Icecast server using ezstream, which does not does it justice as back then it had been reliable for such a long time.
