Me, too. Sorry about that.

See my other response. You're quite right and I was mixing
issues. However, if you're still interested in where the errors
are for CD-cleaning purposes (right), you _should_ be able to
get the data from grip. Not that I'm suggesting it beats
rubyripper for your purposes.

Warning - it's CLI. Which is great and bad, depending on what
you want.

? If I'm following your description, you can most *certainly*
do what you ask for at the end. I do it all the time. If you
select all of the tracks (I use shift-click) and then change the
field in question, just hit the little button to the right of it
and they will all be updated. Am I misunderstanding? Depending
on how you organize your music, this is a huge timesaver. So,
if all my Motorhead albums are located in subdirectories under
one Motorhead section, I can, with a few keystrokes, ensure that
they all have the o-umlaut in them.
As for "remove certain tag types" - what do you mean?
I wish it WOULD do things like:
- "insert" or "append" data to each field. Useful when trying
to add an extra artist to a batch of files for slim
purposes.
- Indicate, when selecting >1 file, which fields do not agree.
For example, if you have one track in your directory that
has different capitalization (or some other typo), that
would be handy.

You need to start getting in the habit of saying things like,
"I'm surprised to see it works fine in Windows..." :-)

Again, unless I misunderstand you (quite likely), are you
talking about marking a file in audacity and having it split
it into pieces? I've done that many times with audacity -
most commonly using the auto-marking tool that drops a marker
in on silence, like when you "find" an album-length mp3 on your
computer glued together with albumwrap or something.
