I'm glad to have some backup here.. Sometimes I feel like a crazed nut,
crying out on a soapbox about issues no ones cares about.. :)
I really try to be sensible.. If my stupid rants bother anyone, just setup
a regex in procmail to kill any emails sent by me after midnight EST. :)
As far as what it does: Perhaps it has database stuff, like grip currently
does.. :)
If there is anything I'd like to see turned into a lib, it's cdparanoia.
I'd like grip to be able to store the number of uncorrected skips in the
ID3 tag, so I have a middle ground between polluting my collection with
skippy music and ripping with -z (which one of my roomates refuses to do).
