This works similarly, insert disk and run batch file (this starts the ripper and related programs, although it could be set to run upon cd instertion) If the music has already been ripped, it ejects the disk, if not it consults freedb (if there is more than one entry it takes the first automatically) When ripping is complete is ejects the disk and you run a different batch script which closes the programs. There is an option in CDex for it to playback cd's, so I'll check that out.
