I don't trust/like cddb - One album, artist will be Eagles - next it will be The Eagles One album, artist will be R.E.O. Speedwago - next it will be REO Speedwagon - etc. Here's what I do. It's more work, but worth it (imho) 1) create directory structure ~/flac/Artist_With_Underscores_For_Spaces/Album_Same_Underscore_Dealie cd ~/flac/U2/War cdparanoia -d /dev/hdc -B -X That rips them to wav files. I rename them - 01-Sunday_Bloody_Sunday.wav 02-Seconds.wav 03-New_Year\'s_Day.wav etc. Then I create metadata using a shell script I wrote (request if you want) wav2flac-metadata.sh "Rock" 1983 That creates a file called tracks.txt I hand edit that file if needed (usually not, but some special characters I don't escape but use spaces, so I do sometimes need to fix the file) Then I run wav2flac.sh (request if you want) - and it makes my flac files tagged for me using the metadata provided. That may be more work than you want to do - I just got sick of incorrect CDDB data. So when I have incorrect data now, it's me to blame :p -- http://mpeters.us/ _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
