Help for !RipCDpara

 This is simply a front end for the 'cdparanoia' application, which
 extracts (rips) tracks off audio CDs and converts them to WAV files.

 It can rip a single track and save it as a single WAV file
 OR
 a range of consecutive tracks and save the whole group as a single file.


 Clicking <Select> on the iconbar icon brings up a 'Save-as' box.
 This also shows the range of audio tracks on the CD.

 Just insert into the writeable icon -

(a) a single track number e.g '6'. This will also be the filename of the
    saved file.

(b) a range of track numbers e.g '7-11'. (Note: the '-' is a 'minus' sign)
    All 5 tracks will be saved in a single file called '7-11'.


 Finally drag the "WAV" icon to a suitable destination folder.

 The conversion will then begin and the files saved as appropriate.
 
 That's it!

Note: The conversion is fairly slow, so be patient.
      Also some of these files can be very large so make sure the
      destination filing system can cope. It's probably best to save
      to Hard Disc ( RAM/Memphis may be too small or problematic).
