I personally use ripit.pl on NetBSD (Perl wrapper for cdparanoia/lame) with my own modification to run mp3gain over the ripped CD afterwards (bye-bye loudness wars). However this is quite a techie solution, no GUI, all CLI based. What would be nice is a consumer electronics style solution (something that can be installed on a HTPC with a slot-load style drive) that behaves like this by default (options configurable): Insert audio CD. Check CD against database of ripped CDs. If it's already been ripped, start playing ripped version and eject CD. If it hasn't been ripped: Check for CD-Text labels on CD. If present then use these for ID3 tags. If not then perform a CDDB lookup. Begin ripping. Once first track is encoded, start playing album from beginning. When ripping complete eject disc. This would obviously need to work with some kind of media library manager, but that's the way I'd imagine it working. -- Squirrel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Squirrel's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5785 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25661 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
