Are you using MAC OS X? Since it's Unix-based, couldn't you just use a perl or python script? I, myself, use Linux, and I wrote a python script that keeps a parallel dir tree of MP3s to match the FLACs in my regular library (and others on this forum have done the same in other languages). For MP3s (and AAC), I just create a symlink to the main library in the parallel tree... Not sure Python is included on OS X, but if not, it could be compiled, since it's open-source. -- LavaJoe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LavaJoe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2331 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18780 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
