Thanks for all the suggestions, still confused what to do. I'm swapping from an old dual pentium workstation to a macbook and don't ~really~ want to fire the PC up just to rip CDs. So windows software seems a bit of a non starter.
I've looked at the Mac OS X program MAX which can rip to FLAC and MP3 at the same time (sort of Mareo style). I'd then import the MP3's into itunes for my IPOD synchronisation and copy the FLAC files over to the server. (Which to complicate things further will now run Xubuntu and not Win2000). Then all I need is to scan for Replaygain on the FLAC files on the server and hopefully use the iVolume plugin within Itunes as I don't think MAX has any replaygain functionality built in. I will probably use Foobar's convert function to deal with the FLAC files I've currently got. I've read that MAX is not as good as EAC for ripping but if it's 70% as good then I'll use the PC for the duff discs (I buy quite a bit from Amazon Marketplace!), but if the Macbook is dead slow then I'm not sure what I'll do. I'm even contemplating ditching XP on the workstation as Xubuntu looks interesting, but have other PC only (that I know) tasks that I might want to accomplish. Thanks. -- sdevans ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sdevans's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1867 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31502 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
