Hello, I posted this over on the VortexBox forum but no takers and
thought I'd give it a shot here. I've pretty much exhausted my research.
Would like to see if anyone here has run into this issue before I
reformat the drive.

rippers over the years. EAC was the first ripper I tried I think. Though

have stayed with it due to it's feature set and flexibility. I use

I assume you have already made the changes to the default file structure
in VB. FYI, by default it also adds a playlist (.m3u) file to each CD

Several years ago I was using Vortexbox in a virtual machine to rip my
CD collection, because it's really easy to use for such a bulk rip job -
and I'm still using it for ripping because I'm too lazy to use a
different tool.
If the CD is recognized then tagging is usually fine. Of course you

Embarking on a re-rip project. A lot of my earliest rips were with
iTunes and I now know better so want to re-rip a lot of CDs.
Have used EAC as my goto ripper for a while and I know it's capabilities

built a Vortexbox with a
bump
very much interested if that is feasible

More better to use virtualbox or vmware to create a virtual machine
running vortexbox.
It will scan way faster than the same computer running winders and it
only takes 512-1024 MB
I'm unable to use a static IP address on the vortexbox, if I set one and
reboot the server it still uses dynamic addressing which is a real
pain.
Any ideas?
I've gone from dynamic to static rebooting each time many many times

Static means static and it really doesn't matter if it is in the

Hi Bromelo.
Did you found any solutions here?
Actually I have the same issue and I cant figure out the problem.
I can also go to suspend, but after few minutes my vortexbox starts

Besides the vortexbox, I have only 2 players attached on my network.

Hi all,
I have recently (well about 2 months ago) built a little pc with an

The quick way it to use Run Command from the Windows main page using the
IP address of the Vortexbox. You will get a Windows Explorer window,
double click on Files, then Music, then either FLAC or MP3.
