Nice set up. I have never used Audacity seriously - I found it far too fiddly and time consuming even though I work with computers constantly. If you have 1,800 albums to go you really should try VinylStudio (you can do 5 albums for free). http://www.alpinesoft.co.uk - don't be put off by its slightly old looking appearance. It records initially to WAV but allows you to "correct" any clicks etc without touching the WAV file, before splitting and writing to MP3, FLAC etc or even direct to Audio CD and also includes lookup for tagging and cover art. I rarely have to use mp3tag these days. *Pi3 with piCoreplayer music on QNAP TS419p via NFS* iThingys/iPeng/Tablets/Jogglers *Living Room* - Joggler & SB3 -> Onkyo TS606 - > Celestion Ditton F20s *Office* - Pi -> Sony TA FE320 -> Celestion F10s / Pi & SB3 -> Onkyo CRN 755 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes *Dining Room* -> SB Boom *Kitchen* -> UE Radio (upgraded to SB Radio) *Bedroom (Bedside)* - SB Touch -> Topping TP21 -> AKG Headphones ------------------------------------------------------------------------ d6jg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44051 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108012 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
