# xmms2-ripper(1)

dumps the audio currently played to stdout

## NAME

xmms2-ripper - dumps the audio currently played to stdout

## SYNOPSIS

**xmms2-ripper**

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **xmms2-ripper** command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

**XMMS2** is a redesign of the XMMS (http://www.xmms.org) music player. It features a client-server model, allowing multiple (even simultaneous!) user interfaces, both textual and graphical. All common audio formats are supported using plug-ins. On top of this, there is a flexible media library to organize your music.

**xmms2-ripper** is visualization client for **XMMS2.** Instead of visualizing the audio data, it encodes the data to Ogg/Vorbis and writes them to the standard output. The output should be redirected to a file or to another program.

## OPTIONS

This program does not offer any options.
