Now exactly why are you not using Grip on a CDROM in your computer? It will check out CDDB for you, and seperate the tracks perfectly. both generating the wav, and encoding the mp3/ogg.

I usually then end with a 1-5% top out from Gramofile. > On further question. > I'm having to swap the computer CD audio line and this CD/tapedeck audio > line over with one another on the mobo socket.

By splice, I assume that you mean wire the two output sources to the same input jack. I don't think it will be a problem at all. As to the CDDB database, it functions by reading an ID code encoded into the CD, or failing that, it checks the tracks and their start and end points and trys to match those (the only one that I know that pulls that sort of stunt is the MS Media Player current version. I have to use it at work, and it can ID my copied CDs, something my computer cannot do.). Rob -- Mountlake Terrace, Washington
