Oh my lord yes. This! Is the thing right here. Try it for
ripping and you will never rip another cd with ITunes. And if you
want your cd rips intergrated into your ITunes library, snap! It
will do that at your option, and even create playlists for you or
add the files to a playlist. Choice is good.
Music brains also has it's own cross platform mp3 tagger which I am
just about to try since I need to submit an album to the database.
Are these posted to the VO compadibility list? If not I'll post
them.
Thanks for the tip. It's smokin good.

OK friends, I'm back in to ITunes because I have to have it for
my mp3 player. It is a true test of my love for my macbook.
Right now I'm thinkin bout going out to the fire escape and
kicking it so I can hear it rang! Clang! Bang! down three
fleights of stairs to the pavement.
Here's my current problem. I haven't found anything I really
like for ripping cd's, and I've got a few that I want to convert
to mp3. I figured since ITunes is already here and I have to
librafy my albums collection anyway to sync it with my IPod, I
may as well give it a shot and see if it flies at all.
I have run up against two problems. The first is that I can't
figure out how to tell ITunes not to put my cd rips in with the
rest of my music. This is rather important because before the
albums go into my collection, they need to have .sfv files
added. Then they need to be backed up to DVD and the dvd's need
to be catalogged. The files themselves may also need minor
adjustments. For example, I always remove words like A or The
from artist names to make them sort into the proper order. I
think I could do all this even if the files are placed into my
library, but it would just be faster and easier to have them in
their own folder. I've looked through the import settings, but I
don't see a way to do this.
The second is the thing that's really got me. I only like high
bitrate natural stereo mp3's, and I've got the where with all to
indulge my tastes, or at least I did on the windows side. Now
you would think this would be straight forward.
Open Itunes.
Push command comma for the preferences.
VO to the import settings button and press vo space.
VO space on the encode using popup button and change it to mp3.
VO Space on the Setting popup button and change it to custome.
That much of it works just fine.
When I press enter on custome I get lovely options.
I set the stereo bit rate to 192, The sampling rate to 44100 hz,
and the channel seperation to normal.
When I hit the OK button I still have the encoder set to mp3 and
the setting option set to custome, but in the detales box it
still says 160 kbps 44100 hz joint stereo.
I've tried pressing the OK button to save all the settings and
when I press command comma to get back to prefs it still says 160
kbps.
I've tried it with the smart encoding adjustments box checked and
unchecked.
I'd think it was a possible permition error, but the encoder
setting always stays at mp3 and the setting button always stas at
custome. It's only the actual custom settings that revert. The
other strange thing is that the smart encoding check box stays
the way I put it. It was checked when I tried this the first
couple of times. Then I unchecked it and it has stayed unchecked
even as I re apply the settings so I can detale my problem for
this email.
Now I'm off to take a breather and scope some tunes or
something. The computer doesn't usually get me down, but ITunes
is so damned proprietary and useless, it gets the upper hand on
me all the time. I'll be greatful for any enlightenment you can
give me, and maybe when I settle down I'll have a quick google
and see if I can find a deacent ripping program for the mac.
Need a catalogger too come to think of it. I'm still using my
old windows catalogging system. It's a very nice catalogging
system, but it is quite old and under developped, and it's a bit
out of the way popping up windows just to find out what dvd's
such and such an artist resides on.
Thanks guys,
