Does the ripper call the FLAC command line encoder? If so, you can specify the tag info on the command line. You would have to have some logic to say "use tag info read from CD info service or use tag info specified in web form". If your ripper is a script, there may be command line tools you could use. If you are a Perl script, there is a library on CPAN to manipulate Vorbis tags in FLAC files. agillis;496811 Wrote: > > I personally ripping without a GUI.

It's not that this is *hard* to do or that it can't be done, but this means that the user needs to have a separate machine running Windows to manage the tag information. As I see it, Vortex Box strives to be a standalone solution (which I think is a great goal!). Not having the ability to manipulate tag information prevents it from being truely standalone. agillis;496811 Wrote: > > I's also like to point our we are using MusicBranz now so the tags > should be better quality. That's good to know - I wasn't aware of that. I'll also second somebody else's request for built-in MusicIP support. People might use Vortex Box for that ability alone! If you can go through the pain of figuring out how to make that work so others don't have to feel the pain, it would be a big accomplishment. -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 4 Booms, 1 duet, 1 receiver.
