opaqueice, ceejay, thanks... I'll be playing with these tools as soon as I get a chance. I'll do anything (except paying someone else) to reduce the number of steps/time I need to rip my CDs. Currently, I have a four step process.
1.- Rip CD to flac using EAC 2.- Use foobar to add Replaygain 3.- Use WMP to get the album art 4.- (new step) Using one of the tools recommended here to rip or convert a subset of the albums' tracks to WMA for my DAP. 5.- Move/Copy the resulting ripped files to the Slimserver and to the laptop I use to copy music to my DAP I'm currently using two laptops and my Slimserver computer to rip 3 cds at a time. Sometimes while ripping one CD and moving to the next computer I forget if I have already removed the leading/trailing silence gaps or if I have already used foobar to add Replaygain. Beside the tools suggested here, I'm also going to look at Album Art Aggregator to see if it saves me some time. It would be nice if someone out there has already found a way to make the five steps above a ONE-CLICK process after inserting the CD. I know that for the wma subset I'd have select which songs I want for my DAP, but that should make my nightmare a two step process. So far I've been spending most of my time off ripping CDs... The wife is starting to question the wisdom of digitizing all these CDs at the cost of my (our) summer leisure time. Last words out of her mouth...
