I've realised that whenever I add new music to my library, my workflow
has become quite involved. My library is stored on a Mac Mini. I have a
laptop PC, and I find it more convenient to rip on this than on the
Mac.

On PC:
- On PC, rip CD to MP3 using LAME (192kbps VBR)
- Permit iTunes to maintain directory structure
- Edit any obvious CDDB errors in iTunes
- Normalize volume to 89db using MP3gain
- Transfer files to Mac Mini (iTunes directory)
- Delete iTunes directory - ready for next rip session

On Mac:
- Delete all listed tunes in iTunes (keep files on drive). I'm trying
to avoid duplicates here. Perhaps a redundant step?
- Re-add iTunes folder to iTunes (incuding new files)
- Rescan new and changed music in SlimServer

I think that's it.

Interested to hear of others' routines...
