I just had a quick look at the link above, a web interface to ripping config would be excellent of course but I imagine would require a lot of development. I read this part also with interest "Upon inserting the CD, RipNAS fetches metadata from the Internet (using PerfectMeta: from AMG, GD3, Musicbrainz & freedb), if the disc is not present in any of the 4 online databases (very rare), the disc will be ejected after about 20 seconds. If the same disc is re-inserted it will be ripped to 'Unknown Artist x' and Track 1, Track 2, etc." I think this would be a great feature to add to the ripping process, as it stands the cd will get ripped even if 'Unknown Artist' so currently I either use a tag editor to update the FLAC/mp3 files or delete them and re-rip manually with dbpoweramp, with the above functionality it gives the user the option on whether to proceed with the rip or do it manually. -- socistep ------------------------------------------------------------------------ socistep's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18860 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65338 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
