-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all. Thanks to all who responded...I will check those out as well. What I did find was something called cdmp3. It consists of 2 bash scripts (cdmp3 and cdogg). They can either use cdparanoia to or cdda2wav to rip the files. Then you can use lame or oggenc. In terms of Cddb, there's also a script called get_cddb which is written in Perl. This script in turn calls get_cddb, which is part of the CDDB_get package. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAaIJLNohoaf1zXJMRAn0AAJ0dzaWcWE81kdCnyL60JNQoA/gnSQCgiHc6 TZKPlj96pKywvxPyuQ8PT2Y= =5uE2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
