+RipIT is used to create MPEG-1 Layer 3 (mp3) using Lame, or uses Flac (flac),
+Ogg Vorbis (ogg), Faac (m4a), Musepack (mpc), mp4als (als), Wavpack (wv) or
+ffmpeg to convert audio files (wav) extracted from an audio CD.
+It is a console based front-end (no GUI here), written in Perl, for these
+programs (which must be installed -- at least one out of each category):
+
+* dagrab, cdparanoia or cdda2wav (tosha and cdd are also supported)
+for ripping the audio CD tracks
+* Lame, OggVorbis, Flac or Faac, Musepack, mp4als, Wavpack or ffmpeg for
+encoding the wav files to a compressed format
+
+Optionally, ripit can use:
+
+* CDDB_get 2.27 or higher, a Perl module for CDDB retrieval
+* LWP::simple, a Perl module to access web pages and eventually Digest::MD5
+and Unicode::UCD depending your choice of options
+
+When using Musicbrainz DB one needs additionally: WebService::MusicBrainz
+and the discid-tool or MusicBrainz::DiscID.
+
+The program will do the following without user intervention:
+
+* get the audio CD Album/Artist/Tracks information from MusicBrainz or freeCDDB
+* rip the audio CD Tracks
+* encode to Flac, mp3, Ogg-Vorbis, mpc, m4a or als
+* id3 tag encoded songs
+* create a playlist (m3u) file
+* optionally generate a toc or inf files for DAO burning with, CD-text
+* optionally prepare and send a CDDB submission and save it locally
+* optionally extract hidden songs and split ghost songs
+* optionally create md5sum files for all tracks
+* run several encoder processes at the same time and same run
