Could you point me to some information on how I do what I would like, that is: 1) rip a cd with "cdparanoia -B" and rename the resulting .wav's according to a freedb lookup or 2) rip a cd with "cdparanois -B", convert it to mp3s with "ls *.wav | xargs -iarg gogo arg" and rename the resulting mp3's according to a freedb lookup? -- peace, love & harmony Atte http://www.atte.dk

here's how i do it. 1) create your mp3s. name in track order (01.mp3 etc.) 2) start easytag. cancel the "scanner" window that pops up, and browse to the directory that contains the mp3s you want to tag. 4) select "Misc > CDDB Search" from menu. type keywords (e.g. artist, album) in the "Words" field, then click search. 5) find a good set of data. click on the "Select all lines" button (on the right, looks like a blue square with white stripes) and then apply. 6) close the "CDDB Search" window and return to the main easytag window. You should now see all your songs with red text. Hit the "Save button", and your chnages should be written. i don't know why they call it "easytag", it should be "powertag" - you can do some pretty cool stuff with it once you get used to it, but it is anything but easy to use for beginners. play around a bit, and you will discover all kinds of cool features.

i recomend Easytag also. but just in case anyone is interested, i enclose a php script which will rename an album from a freedb html page. I'm willing to improve it if anyone is interested. if you are into commandline utils, i also recomend "rip" as a ripper (cdparanoia wrapper). I dont like the defaults, but as its perl, you can customise it EXACTLY as you want. regards -- Tim Orford
