Re: ripping cd's

Eric, first you can locate the option under the iTunes menu bar, just  
VO-m for the menu and arrow right to iTunes and arrow down to Provide  
iTunes Feedback. I don't fully understand the entire cataloging  
process, but it sounds as though you have a system that is  
considerably extensive and not always online and so iTunes may not  
have all the functionality you require. As far as managing a music  
collection, works great here, all my files end up in this lovely tree  
structure which I like so very much. I am a tree structure freak for  
sure.
As far as importing a CD, I have to admit I'm not so sure why the  
settings aren't holding and you could possibly delete the plist  
associated with iTunes, but that seems extreme. I can say for the most  
part the audio book feature works well, but I did get a $10 app called  
Audiobook Builder which seems to help in the process. Syncing via  
iTunes to the iPod works very well indeed and so overall iTunes fits  
my needs well. I can understand of course you have a unique situation  
and so you need to use what works best for you.
