True, I am using an Intel MacBook Pro to rip, convert, & tag then
upload the finished product.   But I also have an extensive library
already on the server from years gone by.  These files require some
manipulation and I spend a lot of time VNCing to the server's screen to
locate and repair the files to get them working correctly with SB
Server.

Problems include lost art & bad tags.  For example: SB Server is
currently listing all of the "Encomium: A Tribute To Led Zeppelin"
(1995, Atlantic Records.  Highly recommended.) as 12 separate CDs.  I'll
need to edit the tags on each to reflect the different artist are on one
album.

Likewise, it would be nice to drop a new CD into the server's tray and
have it rip, query the CDDB, add tags, and place the files into the
music folder without getting my laptop involved.

Using the laptop, Songbird, and VNC isn't killing me; I've been doing
it this way for years.  But it is a less elegant solution than I'd like.
