OK , so that looks good. I gave the files song names to see if it
would give me the same songs titiles in a CD player, it doesn't, so
that will not work, next time I'll stick to track1 etc.
Obviously I really need to build a CDDB file , can gramofile do this for
me ?


Now exactly why are you not using Grip on a CDROM in your computer? It will check out CDDB for you, and seperate the tracks perfectly. both generating the wav, and encoding the mp3/ogg.

Ah, but these are not audio CD of regular commercial origin now.
In order for the above to work you need the CD to have an identification , file, tag, code, bar code , whaterver the device is, and for the lookup on the net to use it. I have now an idividualised personal CD, true originally it was of commercial origin, but it's my disc now, not someone elses commercial creation, and I need to create a cddb for this personalised CD, but how ?




On further question.
I'm having to swap the computer CD audio line and this CD/tapedeck audio
line over with one another on the mobo socket. I don't like doing this
all the time, not leat it is going to end up damaging the 4 prongs of
the sprocket gived time, can I splice the two cables together provided
I keet to the wire colour coding. Is it OK from the computers point of
view, can it destinguish between the differenc sound sources, even
though they arrive via the same socket , or is it something I'm going to
have to live with ?



By splice, I assume that you mean wire the two output sources to the same input jack. I don't think it will be a problem at all.


That's what I mean. Well my prefered route. You don't think it will blow anything ?


As to the CDDB database, it functions by reading an ID code encoded into the CD, or failing that, it checks the tracks and their start and end points and trys to match those (the only one that I know that pulls that sort of stunt is the MS Media Player current version. I have to use it at work, and it can ID my copied CDs, something my computer cannot do.).


But as I say , I now have a personalised CD, no ID code, what is needed, at least , to my mind, is a means to create,
a) A personalised original ID code,
b) A text editor so I can build a new ID file ,
c) To store that file in the same /home/.cddb main directory, under a sub directory called personal or something.


As far as I can tell right now I cannot do that ?
