Thanks for the replies, Roger, Basil, and Dylan. I'll look into ripit, easytag, and audacity. And look into better tagging.
Roger:
One unfortunate issue is that there is really no standard for MP3 tags.
Is it better for the other encodings? I thought ogg-vorbis was the thing to use? Of course, mp3 can be played by more devices, though.
ripit supports more than MP3. It also does Ogg Vorbis: -c, --coder number Encoder(s) to use, 0 - Lame (for mp3), 1 - Oggenc, 2 - Flac, 3 - Faac, 4 - mp4als, 5 - Musepack, 6 - Wavpack, 7 - ffmpeg The riping is not really where the real organization of music happens. Unless the tags in the CDDB happen to match your wishes. Sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't. I would suggest easytag for personalizing the tags. I think this is where you can set things up the way you want. Just be sure to figure out which tags your music player uses for various things. For example, iTUNES has a tag that says not to insert a brief gap between track. This is useful when the tracks should be played directly after each other as though they were one track. I do not know what tag Amarok may use for this. If it even has this capability... -- Yours sincerely, Roger Oberholtzer Ramböll RST / Systems Office: Int +46 10-615 60 20 Mobile: Int +46 70-815 1696 roger.oberholtzer@ramboll.se ________________________________________ Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
