Small indeed, yes.  It's a large library of SFX for
audio production.  We own them outright on CD, but if
we want to aquire individually ripped files (to se up
a searchable database SFX server) we either have to
re-purchase them or rip them ourselves.

Sadly Nero does not appear to support indices.  Also,
I'm looking at encoding over 6000 individual sounds,
so I'm really hoping for a linux util that will be
easily scriptable.
