+
+The TL;DR version: install lame if you want to rip to mp3.
+
+If you're still reading: ripit's optional dependencies are runtime deps,
+so you can install them after installing ripit and they will be detected.
+
+If you don't install anything extra, you'll be able to rip with cdparanoia
+or cdda2wav, and encode to flac, ogg, or wavpack. You'll also be unable
+to submit updated CDDB entries (most people don't need to do this anyway).
+
+Here's the list of optional deps available from SBo:
+
+lame - Normally required for encoding to mp3 (-c 0 option, which is the
+ default), though ffmpeg can be used instead.
+
+faac - Required for encoding to mp4/aac (-c 3 option).
+
+ffmpeg - Can encode to any format supported by ffmpeg (-c 7 option, plus
+ --ffmpegopt and --ffmpegsuffix options).
+
+musepack-tools or mppenc -
+ Required for encoding to MusePack (mpc) format (-c 5 option).
+
+libwwwperl - Required for submitting updated CDDB entries to freedb.org.
+ If this package is missing, ripit will warn that LWP::Simple
+ is not installed. You can ignore the warning, if you never
+ intend to submit any CDDB entries.
+
+perl-MusicBrainz-DiscID and perl-WebService-MusicBrainz -
+ These can be used for identifying the disc. However, the SlackBuild author
+ has NOT tested this script with MusicBrainz, and does not guarantee that
+ it'll work. If you manage to get this working, please contact the maintainer
+ (email address in the .info file) and let me know how you managed it, so I
+ can update this documentation.
+
+There are other optional deps not available on SBo. These include:
+
+dagrab, tosha, cdd -
+ CD rippers, which could be used instead of cdparanoia or cdda2wav.
+
+MP3::Tag - Required for including cover art within mp3 files.
+
+Unicode::UCD - Required for non-UTF-8 id3 tags.
