|[[Image:Audex1.png|300px|thumb]]||'''Audex: Rip your audio CDs'''
|}
'''Audex''' is an easy to use audio CD ripping application. In general usage of '''Audex''' is self-explanatory. With the first start '''Audex''' scans your system for common encoders and creates a common set of profiles automatically for you.
* Ripping with CDDA Paranoia.
* Supports Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, MP3, WAV, AAC and custom commandline encoders.
* Extensive filename schemes (see chapter filename schemes).
* Metadata correction tools (like capitalization).
* Profile based ripping.
* Retrieve covers from the internet.
* Create playlists, covers and template based info files.
* Transfer files with KDE KIO-Slaves.

A filename scheme defines the path and filename of the audio files being created by '''Audex'''. A simple scheme in '''Audex''' could look like this:
If you rip an audio CD from the artist "Metallica" and the album name is "Metallica", the files will be stored in the folder <tt>/Metallica/Metallica</tt> within your base path you set in the general settings. If the folder does not exist, '''Audex''' will create it for you.
In case of flac files your files will be named <tt>"1 - Enter Sandman.flac"</tt>, <tt>"2 - Sad But True.flac"</tt>, <tt>"3 - Holier Than You.flac"</tt>...

So, in many cases this will satisfy your needs. For more detailed file name schemes, variables can have parameters. E.g.:
{{Input|1=<nowiki>$artist/$title/${trackno length="2" fillchar="0"} - $ttile.$suffix</nowiki>}}
As you might think, parameters in this example means, that the track numbers will be forced to a length of 2 digits and numbers less than 10 are filled up with "0". So in case of flac files the files will be named <tt>"01 - Enter Sandman.flac"</tt>, <tt>"02 - Sad But True.flac"</tt>, <tt>"03 - Holier Than You.flac"</tt>...
There is also an option for this in the user interface, which overrides parameters in the variable.
{{Input|1=<nowiki>$artist/${title lowercase="true"}/$trackno - $ttile.$suffix
$artist/${title uppercase="true"}/$trackno - $ttile.$suffix</nowiki>}}
{{Input|1=<nowiki>${artist uppercase="true" left="1"}/$artist/$title/$trackno - $ttile.$suffix</nowiki>}}
The parameter "left" means, that only the number of characters chosen, you set. In this example only the first uppercased letter of the artist name is chosen to create a folder. Sometimes people sort their artists in alphabetic order in folders A, B, C, D, E...
{{Input|1=<nowiki>${artist replace_char_list="true" replace_char_list_from="@#$%*" replace_char_list_to="____+"}/$artist/$title/$trackno - $ttile.$suffix</nowiki>}}
Every character in the parameter "replace_char_list_from" will be replaced by the character in the parameter "replace_char_list_to". E.g. "*" is replaced by "+". Of course these two strings must be equal size.
{{Input|1=<nowiki>${artist underscores="true"}_-_${title underscores="true"}/$trackno_-_$ttile.$suffix
$artist/$title/$trackno_-_${ttile fat32compatible="true"}.$suffix</nowiki>}}
Sometimes people don't like spaces in their filenames (mainly for historical reasons I think). If you set underscores as true within a variable parameter all spaces will be replaced by underscores "_". The parameter "fat32compatible" will remove all FAT32 incompatible characters (like "?").
Normally you won't use these two parameters, as there are options in the user interface for the complete filename.
