Depends on your OS, etc. On Windows, I use CDex to wav, and then use FlacfrontEnd to compress and tag. I have CDex set the file/path to match the artist/album/nn-trackname On Linux, I use grip. Either approach gets the data from Freedb/CDDB. If you do hundreds (I did about 700) you will find that for most pop, Freedb gets it close to correct. For more serious jazz and clasical, it does a bad to terrible job. So I did a lot of manual fixups. I strongly suggest doing a few batches of four or five CDs at a time. Work up a process that works for you and your tunes. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
