We now have FLAC mirror instead of rip to mp3. It speeds up the ripping process only having to rip to FALC. When your done you run FLAC mirror and it will make mp3s out of any FLACs you don't have mp3s of. It will also update any tags you have changed!! You never need to edit your mp3 files just your FLACs. If you use tag&rename you can change the genre on a lot of files at once. I'll look into it but this is a very complex feature to add. I would have to basically rewrite tag&rename in a web GUI. I personally ripping without a GUI. When I'm done ripping I open my VortexBox share in Windows. Sort by date so I see the albums I just ripped at the top. Then I use tag and rename's beautiful and very functional interface to fix any tags. I's also like to point our we are using MusicBranz now so the tags should be better quality. -- agillis rip, tag, get cover artÂ… All you do is insert the CD! http://vortexbox.org agillis Lead Developer VortexBox ------------------------------------------------------------------------ agillis's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21140 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72695
