Hi All! I in the process of ripping all of my albums, but the tool I have has two major flaws. First, it's Windows. Second, it only store ID3v1 tags. The nice thing is that it has a very, very confortable GUI. I press "record" and it records the album. Then I click on the pauses between songs and it splits the album into the appropriate tracks. There is an "auto clean" mode which takes out all of the hissing and clicking automatically, which works wonders with my old albums. I then have to input the artist and track title by hand, but cut-n-paste from freedb.org makes it really easy. Then I covert the wav files to mp3 and I am done! Again, only with the ID3v1 tags. So, the first question is whether there is a comfortable GUI to do the same thing in Linux. The tools I have found so far have all been command line and take about as long to process the album as it does to rip it. The second question is if there is a command line tool to conver ID3V1 tags to ID3V2 tags. I found one that claims to do it (simply called id3v2). However, it's source only and none of the versions I have downloaded contain the configure script that it says to execute first. Arrgh! Any help would be greatly appreaciated.

this doesn't take too long here: first: cdda2wav -D /dev/cdrom -x -s -B then: for j in *.wav; do echo $j; lame -b 160 $j ${j/.wav/.mp3}; rm $j; done Bye, Sven

Hi Sven! Works fine for CDs, but I have already ripped all of my CDs. I have about 600 albums, as in vinyl, that I want to convert to MP3. I guess most people are just too young to remember all of the great music that came out on vinyl. ;-) I've already done about 50 albums with the Windows tool on my sons' machine, but I was hoping for a Linux-only solution.

Hi James, sorry 'bout that ignorance of mine - I really should not try to answer questions this time of day... Have you tried gramofile? http://panic.et.tudelft.nl/~costar/gramofile/ hth, Sven

hth, Sven =============
Also, gramofile is on your SuSE cds! Many have used this to convert the albums to CD James and I understand it works nicely. Lee -- --- KMail v1.5.4 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.0 --- Registered Linux User #225206 On any other day, that might seem strange...

I looked at the links on the gramofile home page and one of them (this one: http://articles.linmagau.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=153&page=1 ) also referred to audacity as being a more sophisticated version. It is also on the SuSE CDs. -- opinions personal, facts suspect. http://home.arcor.de/36bit/samba.html

Gramofile is good, but for a GUI approach you should look at Peter Jodda's KHdRecord: http://software.jodda.de/ This is very easy to use (it will record off a radio card or mic as well as off the sound-card), but I'm not sure that it comes with the anti-noise fetaures you are looking for. -- Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - Meddalwedd Rydd yn Gymraeg
