EV_CD_RIPPING_START invoked once at the beginning
EV_CD_RIPPING_PERC invoked multiple times reporting the current advancement percentage inside the nDataLow3 parameter
EV_CD_RIPPING_SIZE invoked multiple times reporting the current size in bytes inside the combination of the nDataHigh3 and nDataLow3 parameters
EV_CD_RIPPING_STOP invoked as soon as the ripping session is completed

Parameter

Description

 

 

nCdDriveIndex

Number representing the zero-based index of the involved CD drive.

Installed CD drives can be enumerated using the GetCdDrivesCount method and their friendly description can be retrieved through the GetCdDriveDesc method.

nTrackIndex

Number representing the one-based index of the CD audio track.

The total number of available audio tracks on the given CD can be obtained using the GetCdNumTracks method.

nCodecIndex

Number representing the index of the ACM codec.

 

Installed codecs can be enumerated using the AudioCompressionManager.GetCodecsCount method and their friendly description can be retrieved through the AudioCompressionManager.GetCodecDesc method.

nCodecFormatIndex

Number representing the index of the format for the given ACM codec.

 

Available formats for the given codec can be enumerated using the AudioCompressionManager.GetCodecFormatsCount method and their friendly description can be retrieved through the AudioCompressionManager.GetCodecFormatDesc method.

strOutputPath

String representing the absolute pathname of the output file that will contain the song's ripped data. If this pathname should contain invalid characters, they would be automatically changed into an underscore '_' character.
