Description-en: A Perl client and daemon for distributed audio encoding
The distmp3 package contains a client, distmp3, and a daemon, distmp3host,
which can be installed on many machines to provide fast distributed encoding
of music (typically from a CD-ripper or batch script) using an encoder of
your choice - usually MP3, Ogg Vorbis, or flac.
.
abcde is one such CD ripper wrapper which has builtin support for distmp3 and
can use it very efficiently, especially in the case where the machine with the
best CD-ROM drive is unable to encode the extracted audio at a satisfactory
speed.
.
The current tradeoff is that the client may not pass command-line arguments to
the encoder being run on the machines running the distmp3hosts.
