k3b can not configure the ripping, but cddb search works.
I use k3b to rip CD's. Have been since grip went away, I too liked grip. At the moment I have around 12,000 mp3 files, I like music, my wife liked music, we collected it, and I ripped mp3's off of our vinyl before switching to CD's.
grip is back, if you like it.
How did you rip from vinyl? I'm considering ripping my old collection.
I would be interested in various techniques/tech to do this. Found an old collection of 78's that I have dared not play. I remember them being old when I was a youngster.
I have an Dual 1219 (self restored) that can natively play 78's. Been casually researching the proper cartridge/stylus to use, lest I damage the discs attempting to play them.
Perhaps a topic for another forum?
Anything is fair-game here!
I agree that digitizing vinyl and whatever 78's were made out of can be a fun hobby. But I wonder why one would want to do it if not just for the technological joy. Is it to save the music? I'd argue that just about anything found on old records has already been digitized and is available on Youtube. Maybe one would want to preserve the scratches, clicks, wow, flutter, and grove-carving distortion? Just wondering.

I'd be a bit astonished if many, or any, of these are already digitized. Mostly they are of "sentimental value" (bah! Humbug!), as they belonged to a grandparents siblings. They are in their native language as I recall. Regarding the audio "quirks", those are a fact. And, in fact, one reason I did not buy into the "vinyl renaissance" of recent memory. I buy only digital media these days. Yet, I did not manage to unload my dusty stacks of latter 1900's LP's. A Fad is a Fad, my lad. BTW, anyone interested in a SONY PCM-F1 and matching Video equipment? (I will probably be censured, scolded even, for this. Sigh)
