Thanks Nathaniel, sorry didn't reply earlier my Shaw Cable modem fritzed over the weekend and forgot to reply. Am I right in thinking that I can record the CDs in raw then use Grip to rip + encode the resulting file? Would dd if=/dev/cdrom of=<trackname>audio.raw work to get the track onto the disc? -- Graham "A person is smart. People are dumb, dangerous, panicky animals and you know it." Agent K, Men in Black.
