You might either configure morituri to rip it using the CDDB information, or fill MusicBrainz database with the informations, and then rip it.
Is there a better way to do that, rather than using the -U arg?
rip cd rip -o 667 -U
Yes. As I’ve said, you must either install the python CDDB module necessary for Morituri to rip using FreeDB (cddb-py on ArchLinux for instance) or fill add your CD manually in the DB at musicbrainz.org.
morituri doesn't actually pull any track information from cddb. This is by choice - data in cddb is terrible quality, inconsistent, and not properly curated.
Musicbrainz is excellent quality, and a submission is immediately available to use for morituri, contrary to cddb.
So yes, simply click the link and submit the information.
@thomasvs Thanks for the clarification. I had the python-cddb installed already and it seemed to pull some information to provide to the screen but there were no cli options other than -U that would prevent an attempt to use musicbrainz.
The web interface for Musicbrainz to import data from FreeDB is horrible quality. I'd rather have semi-accurate metadata on my rips than not have any at all, or be forced to spend minutes on every CD I rip.
Has anyone developed a patch already to fall back to using FreeDB data?
I'd excpected this to rip, however it just ejects the disk every time I attempt:
