I don't have the application in front of me to confirm, but I thought Grip had an option to automatically begin it's processes on insert. I know you can set it to eject when the ripping process is complete. If that doesn't work you could certainly set up a shell script to do it for you since cdparanoia, oggenc, and eject all work from the command line. You should be able to set all your options for quality, filenaming, id3 tags, etc from a pretty simple script and for loop. I've got something similar at home for converting mp3 or ogg to wav and then burning them to cd if you'd like a template to start from. -- Ryan _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
