News 2006/05/02 Audio Broadcast Flag Bill and PERFORM Act
Please take a moment to educate yourself about a very dangerous
proposal for legislation in the United States
offered by Rep. Mike Ferguson (R-NJ), called the
"Audio Broadcast Flag Licensing Act of 2006".
If passed, this legislation would severely limit your rights to
record and enjoy digital audio.
About the Audio Broadcast Flag Bill [eff.org] You probably also know about the PERFORM act, proposed by Senators Feinstein (D-CA) and Graham (R-SC). This proposal would require webcasters to use digital rights management (DRM) to encode the music streams, and would disallow the use of shoutcast MP3 streaming. About the PERFORM Act [eff.org] As an American, I am concerned with the erosion of our civil rights by misguided legislation. Maybe you feel the same way. It is our responsibility to inform our representatives and senators. They need to understand that these kinds of proposals do not represent the best interests of American citizens. I encourage you, streamripper users, to take up the pen. The EFF links above can be used to send an email to your representative. Use them! Want to send a letter or make a phone call? Even better. Together, we can stop these bills from becoming law. Thanks! Greg

Ogg/vorbis support
As of version 1.61.18,
ogg/vorbis streams
are now fully
supported.
This includes support both song splitting and the relay server.
Please be aware of certain caveats. (1) Other ogg streams, such as ogg/theora or ogg/speex, may not work properly. (2) The parsing rules are not yet implemented for ogg streams. (3) There may be gaps in the sequence numbers of the ogg pages, which could cause problems playing them in certain players. Greg
News 2005/11/12
Version 1.61.16
Version 1.61.16 is now released.
This version includes a new feature,
the ability to rip from external metadata.
It can be used for recording streams that
do not send artist or title information using
metadata, but instead send this information using other means.
For example, some streams update the current artist and
title using html or xml. Another example is
icecast 1.x, which sends metadata through a UDP socket.
Streamripper can get artist and title information from these kinds of streams using a helper application, specified using the -E option. The helper application needs to find the title and artist info, and write it to stdout. Streamripper reads the stdout of the helper program, and uses it to split the tracks accordingly. The example below is a helper application, written in perl, that can be used to fetch external metadata from an xml file on a remote web site.
#! /usr/bin/perl
###########################################################################
# This is an example script that sends external metadata to streamripper.
# It implements an external program that:
# 1) Fetches a web page
# 2) Searches the web page for the artist and title information
# 3) Sends the information to streamripper on stdout
# To use this script:
# streamripper URL -E "perl this_script META_URL"
###########################################################################
use LWP::Simple;
$url = $ARGV[0];
while (1) {
# Fetch xml file at location $url
my $content = get $url;
# Get the artist and title
if ($content =~ m/title="(.*)" artist="(.*)"/) {
$title = "TITLE=$1\n";
$artist = "ARTIST=$2\n";
$end_of_record = ".\n";
$meta_data = $title . $artist . $end_of_record;
# Send to streamripper
syswrite (STDOUT, $meta_data, length($meta_data));
}
sleep (10);
}
This new feature is available on all versions: unix, windows and winamp. Greg

Version 1.61.13
Version 1.61.13 is now available for unix and windows.
This version includes a substantial change in the design of the internal buffer and relay server. The new relay server uses less memory per client, and supports burst-on-connect. In addition, this version fixes several problems with the mp3 frame parsing code. Streamripper no longer chops the mp3 frames, and it now performs silence detection at a much higher granularity. I expect a few rough edges on this version, so please help out by reporting new bugs to the forum or the sourceforge tracker. Greg

New features in 1.61.9
The latest version, 1.61.9, is now available for unix
(windows version coming soon). It has two new
feature that might be of interest.
The first feature is that now you can design rules for choosing which files to save, and which files to discard. This is done by including extra rules in the parse_rules.txt file (specified by the -w flag). If the metadata matches a regular expression pattern, the song can be saved or discared. The following examples may illustrate the point:
# Exclude tracks that contain the given expression # The leading "m" says this is a match rule # The trailing "x" means that the track should not be saved (excluded) m/advertisement/x # Save tracks that contain the given expression # The leading "m" says this is a match rule # The trailing "s" means that the track should be saved m/[Ff]unk/s # The first m//e, m//s or m//x rule that matches determines the # action that is performed. If none match, then by default the file # will be saved. If you prefer having the default being that the # files aren't saved, include the following as the last rule m//x The rules are parsed in order, and the first matching rule will be used. Thanks to Albert Bachmann for this new feature! The second new feature is pattern substitution for output file name formatting. This is done by using the -D flag together with an output pattern. The following patterns can be used:
%S Stream %A Artist %T Title %a Album %D Date and time (per song) %d Date and time (per execution) %q Sequence number (automatic detection) %Nq Sequence number (starting from number N) %% Percent sign The following usage examples will illustrate how to use the -D flag:
# Save files as Stream/Artist - Title.mp3 (this is the default) streamripper URL -D "%S/%A - %T" # Save files as above, but with sequence numbers (same as -q) streamripper URL -D "%S/%q_%A - %T" # Save files as Stream/Artist/Title.mp3 streamripper URL -D "%S/%A/%T" Greg

Recent updates
The most recent update, 1.61.8, is now available. This
version should fix most of the compile and runtime problems for
BSD, OSX and Solaris. Together with this release, I wrote up
a little matrix describing for which operating systems
I was able to get streamripper to compile. Send me a note to
update this matrix as needed.
The System Compatibility Matrix I guess many of you have noticed our recent problems with the relay stream. Finally, I think the situation is stable as of 1.61.7 or higher. If your client supports buffering, set the buffer size large enough (I use 48kB), and you shouldn't hear any skipping. However, clients that do not have buffering capabilities, such as mpg321, will need to use an earlier version such as 1.60.6. Or, if you are clever, you can use the -a option to stream to a file, and then point your client to that. The final solution to the problem of clients that don't buffer is to perform "burst-on-connect". This is what shoutcast and newer versions of icecast do. However, this require a more complex internal buffering scheme than streamripper currently has. Furthermore, there are two related (but seemingly unrelated) issues that also can be solved using a more complex buffering scheme: relay server for ogg streams and the chopping of mp3 frames. Therefore, improvements the interal buffering code will be an important part of the next few releases. Greg

At long last, a new version...
A new version of streamripper is now available
for unix users (the windows version will be along soon).
The main new feature in this version is metadata parsing using regular
expressions. Why is this important? It's important because
it gives you precise control
over how streamripper interprets what goes into the title and
artist fields. Just to whet your appitite, here is an example of the regular expression parsing that is now supported:
# Ignore metadata that begins with "A suivre" # The leading "m" says this is a match rule # The trailing "e" means drop the metadata m/^A suivre:/e # Strip off anything like "- Mp3Pro" from the end of the string # The leading "s" says this is a substitution rule # The trailing "i" means case insensitive matching s/[[:space:]]*-?[[:space:]]*mp3pro$//i # Strip off something like "- " from the beginning of the string s/^[[:space:]]*-[[:space:]]*// # This is the normal parsing rule: "Artist - Title" # The trailing "A1" means that the artist (A) matches subpattern 1 # The trailing "T2" means that the title (T) matches subpattern 2 m/^[[:space:]]*([^-]*?)[[:space:]]*-[[:space:]]*(.*?)[[:space:]]*$/A1T2 # This is slightly different parsing rule: "Artist, Title" m/^[[:space:]]*([^,]*?)[[:space:]]*,[[:space:]]*(.*?)[[:space:]]*$/A1T2 I hope you get the idea. Use the -w flag to tell streamripper which file contains your parsing rules. Download 1.61.1 here Also, you may have noticed that I'm attempting to migrate over to the sourceforge file release management system. All the historic unix releases are already there. Windows releases will be there some time next week. The main reason for doing this is that it will be easier for me to maintain than our current web-based download system, but there is also the benefit that it is mirrored worldwide. Greg

Lots of new stuff!
Thanks to Greg we have several new releases :D The most recent Streamripper version (1.60.5 (Testing)) is now available at the download page. The changes are:
Another change at the downloads page is the addition of MD5 checksums - hadn't thought of doing that here even though I do it at my personal site - thanks should go to Greg :D Two new skins by Carsten Elste (srskin_Sony CDX-MP3 and srskin_Steal_This_Amp) as well as a skin by Dan Smith (srskin_Xterm). Check them out at the skins page :) Some of you might have heard of a program for Mac OSX called RadioLover. I've recently received an email asking about how it can be that it is shareware while at the same time somewhat based on StreamripperX. The following is the reply email. Note that I've talked to Jon Clegg about this and also that this is an issue for the StreamripperX community and coders to decide upon. I've had no direct involvement with StreamripperX and as such the following is just my opinion:
hi there :) thank you for bringing it up, i've looked at the RadioLover site http://www.bitcartel.com/ and had a clarifying conversation with Jon Clegg and it seems the maker of RadioLover has done some prior work on the StreamripperX. However i'm not directly involved with the StreamripperX version so in a way you should ask the ones at StreamripperX and not me :) my take on this is: under the gnu gpl license any authors work (the code he/she contributed) is still that authors property and can be used freely by said author under any copyright license he/she chooses to (only the code said author contributed him/herself though). however, removing code released as gnu gpl is impossible (just in the same way something can't be taken out of the public domain if released into it) and as such one can get the situation with a gpl'ed product as well as a proprietary product. i personally think it's unfortunate but (and this is the important part) as long as none of the copyright holders (programmers) who worked on StreamripperX contest any parts of the RadioLover code nothing will happen (i'm not yet a contributing programmer myself, just the acting admin for the Streamripper project). the "solution" is of course to make a better gnu gpl'ed version :D Speaking of mail: I've noticed that my SourceForge mail address is being used for header faking, probably someone added that address to their address book and later got infected by a virus. This is actually good! Please use my SourceForge mail address if you absolutely have to save it in any address book and be aware that absolutely none of my outgoing mail ever originates from the SourceForge address! ie. any mail you or others get from "me at sf" is an example of a faked header. Please never ever bookmark the address I use for replying. Btw I'll soon have mail encryption up and running :D Last in this newspost I'd like to apologize for being so slow in getting these updates done. On the other hand it seems more has been happening the last two months than the entire last year - getting a "bump"-type email is a nice change in a weird way, proving the project and community is alive and kicking :) ...n...

Ok, download.com actually fixed the Streamripper listings (big props for Jim Stanley) which prompted me to actually get back to work on it, so far I fixed circa 10 bugs but also intruduced 100 or so new ones, so it might be a little while. Oh and by the way, Buhahaha.

Ultimate BB died
For some reason the forum died, it seems that a good deal of the important files somehow disapeared. I have no idea how this happened, and unfortantly I'm not sure how to get it back. If anyone has a copy of ultimate bulletin board handy I could use it as a reference on how to remake some of it, in the mean time I'm going to redirect the forum to the Sourceforge forum and look into finding someting else.

Yak
Sigh... It's very sad, and I hate myself for it, but I'm getting very very sick of repeating the same answers to questions about Streamripper. "Does it work with.WMA files", "what's this about live365?" etc... It's getting to a point where I take a few days to 'feel' like responding to the email, and then it's a very short and terse; I want to be nice, I guess my patience isn't there anymore. To combat the problem (slightly) I updated the FAQ, I only added a few things because I realized that 90% of the questions are answered right there; I did move "does it work with windows media" right to the top though. The fact is that people don't read the FAQ, they email me - oh well at least they're nice about it. Another torn in my ass is download.com, while I appreciate their free listing and publicity, they've changed their submission scheme around to something called upload.com, which apparently is broken because I can't get them to update Streamripper. It's been updated twice since then and still no word. I've tried email, submitting it again, everything I can think of short of showing up at their office and demanding they update their listings. Sigh.

Ideas
Not much has been going on, I've been getting less and less email about problems, except about the overwriting track thing... but I was thinking about some other things too... like having a 'sweet track' button on Streamripper, so that when you hear a track that you like you could have it moved somewhere else (like a 'sweet' directory, or something). Also maybe the idea where you only rip sweet tracks... all of these have to do with the filelib stuff... so it should be pretty self contained... I think... maybe. Anyway, thats all for now.

Rev woops
Oddsock forwarded me a mail from Tom Pepper of Nullsoft which included the words "pack of lawyers, User-Agent and Bad"… basically he wants Streamripper to not tell/lie 'shoutcast servers' its winamp, rather something else. Also I noticed a bug in 1.25 where if the stream drops it won't auto-reconnect (doh!). The fixes are in CVS but being that it's 4:25am and making a new release is a pain in my arse I'm going to wait till tomorrow (maybe later)... Also I might find something else to fix.

Progress
I'm about half way done w/ the new Streamripper. I decided to scrap the current dung-pile and make something cleaner. The new system is plugin based, um.. woot. Unfortunately I haven't written a line in the last week, my computer fried itself and I've since been trying to get an Abit KT7-RAID/SBLive/Gforce2 MX combo to work right.. for the most part it works but my HD access is slower than it should be... so it goes on... also I've been getting into AO.

Linux, Darwin and FreeBSD
After many many hours of pain, attempting to install Darwin and RedHat 5.2 from my old FreeBSD 3.4 NAT I now have RedHat 7.0 proudly humming as my NAT/Firewall. what the fuck is it with iptables replacing ipchains? I thought ipfw was the shit.. anyway. I've also been reading "rebel code, the story of linux and open source development". One thing that struck me is that Linus commented his code pretty well, got me to thinkin I should probably comment my code a little better, so last weekend I spent a few hours and put a few more comments in there, mainly rip_mananger.c and streamripper.c. You'll need to get them via CVS to check them out. It got me thinking more about how I need a good plugin system, I have some ideas, we'll see.

"Certain company"
A "certain company" put a large string in one of there HTML files that reads: // DEFINITION clegg n - large swift fly the female of which sucks blood of various animals [syn horsefly, cleg, horse fly] repeated about 100 times. They did this to overrun a buffer in my html parsing code, that's why Streamripper crashes. The new version does not allow "certain company" ripping because they threatend to sue me if I didn't take it out. They didn't need to make Streamripper crash, as a matter of fact since the version that removes "certain company" ripping the old version stopped working with "certain company" anyway (they had changed their HTML code around slightly). I guess they did it to make Streamripper look bad by crashing. p.s. I'm forwarding this to the mailing list, I've been getting a lot of mail about this.

Sourceforge suckness
Sourceforge got hax0red last week, since then the shell accounts have been down. I've been unable to update the page, and for some reason the forum has lost all it's posts. I don't know why, I'll try to find out. Currently my focus has been on "plugin-ability", windows media and real ripping, these are both hard and will take a while, so don't expect much of anything besides bug fixes for a while, maybe something for mp3.com, but that's it.
Streamripper will be included in a german book called "MP3 for fun" or something, I forget the title. Anyway, cool to see it getting around. I've also been getting a lot of mail about how Streamripper doesn't seem to work with Live365 anymore, arg..

New stuff
Fixed an annoying bug where having two Winamp's open caused a message box to pop up with "shit, this shouldn't happen"... well it did. Anyway, it is now fixed. Also there is a special pixel in the skin bmp's that will be used for the font color, I did this because I have now had three skins for streamripper submitted to me. All of which could have really used to not have a dark gray font color. You can download 1.24 here Also check out these skins! Makes Streamripper look like winamp (five stars!) Very hot chick named jose Makes Streamripper look like winamp (sorta) To "install" these skins rename them to "srskin.bmp" in your 'Winamp\Plugins' folder, you might want to backup the default srskin to something else. EXTRA: just added a console version for win32! It's barely tested, but seems to work.

Well another week and still no new Streamripper... I know, I've been lazy. But some progress has been made... last weekend I got a bug up my ass to make it "dock" with Winamp, it more or less works, not perfectly, but well enough. Also I got an icon for it, so what needs to be done? Well nothing but some basic testing. I need to make a fresh install of win95, see if it works, test it on my win98 box, etc... if nothing seems to blow up I'll release it... shouldn't be more then a week or two. If any of you actually go to the Sourceforge project page you'll notice 2 more developers, Oddsock and Isotech... Oddsock has made his own GUI called Streamripper32, it's pretty cool. Isotech made some new graphics for the page and (says) he's working on a GDK version, we'll see what happens. In other news I've been getting sick of really lame emails about why doesn't Streamripper work with RealPlayer, or Musicmatch, or how do I reboot my computer... really lame stuff.

Still working on the new version of Streamripper (Win32).
