Hello Robert and others, http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/
Cdex is the best tool (OS or otherwise) I've found for ripping, etc. It'll rip CDs to WAV, CDs to MP3, or convert already ripped WAVs to MP3. Not super user friendly, but solid and feature-laden (even does VBR mp3s). I think it comes with LAME as part of it. Other audio tools I couldn't live without: The FLAC Frontend (a lossless compression format, used for trading legal concert bootlegs) http://flac.sourceforge.net/ and CDWAV, a shareware tool for splitting up long WAV files seamlessly into individual tracks without screwing up the sector boundaries: http://www.milosoftware.com/cdwave/ As far as burning, I still have not found a OS or shareware program that comes close to offering the features and usability of Ahead software's Nero. Any suggestions would be much appreciated, but they make a hard product to beat (super easy to use, plus there's plugins for burning FLACs, SHNs, OGG, RealMeadia, and more.) http://ww2.nero.com/enu/Products.html For basic audio editing, Audacity is of course the open source audio editor. It's okay, but can't touch the usability of Sound Forge. hope this has helped!! dylan > A friend of mine gave me a CD with a collection of her personal > recordings.
