If you are using an install (frugal or native) or considering remastering Michael's nice (already done) work, you could add: AutoRip cdparanoia the MPEG::MP3Info perl module from the CPAN archives LAME 3.97 see http://autorip.sourceforge.net/ For the "details" -- I've used it in a Kubuntu and DSL native installed environment and it works great. You just run this and it spits out the CD tray...you feed it disks all day long and dump the ripped, encoded and tagged files to a large HDD and you are done. The perl file can be modified to accommodate different encoders, bit rates, VBR/CBR and ABR as well as the file naming conventions for output and file locations. While the author may consider what he prepared "trivial", it is quite powerful for a perl script that is over a year old with its origins in the late 1990's. You could add Autorip and its dependencies using the DSL remastering process described at the Knoppix and Damn Small Linux sites: http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Knoppix_Remastering_Howto along with anything specific to DSL via http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/talk/node/160. Again, though, I would suggest using Michael's SlimCD as the basis for your work if you want SlimServer included. Otherwise, the latest version of DSL (i.e. 2.0) is the way to go and the easiest and fastest to remaster because of its size and the 'toram' boot option makes it blazing fast on new hardware with > 256 MB main RAM.
