In grip, go to Config->Rip, and see what file name is displayed in the
"Rip file format" box. This will contain symbolic switches such as %A
(artist), %d (disc name) and %n (track name). "~" stands for your home
directory.
grip on-line help is available: open the Grip User's Guide from grip via
Help->Table of Contents, or point your browser to
/usr/share/gnome/help/grip/C/grip.html and follow the links for
"The Rip config tab" and "Configuration (%) switches".
FYI, if you're going to rip and encode CD music files, I strongly suggest
using Ogg Vorbis instead of mp3. See http://www.vorbis.com for more info
on Ogg Vorbis. It's a superior format to mp3, and is Open Source.
Ogg Vorbis support is available on RH 8.0 CDs:
CD-1:libogg-1.0-1.i386.rpm
CD-1:libogg-devel-1.0-1.i386.rpm
CD-1:libvorbis-1.0-1.i386.rpm
CD-1:libvorbis-devel-1.0-1.i386.rpm
CD-2:vorbis-tools-1.0-1.i386.rpm
You can use xmms, noatun, or ogg123 to play Ogg Vorbis files; these are all
on the RH 8.0 CDs.
Other useful Ogg Vorbis tools:
crip Ogg Vorbis rip/encode/tag program: http://bach.dynet.com/crip
squelch Ogg Vorbis player: http://rikkus.info/squelch.html
Ogg Doctor tag editor: http://roan.free.fr/softs/oggd/index-en.html
I've started ripping my CD collection to Ogg Vorbis format with crip, and
am very pleased with the results.
