After looking into all the suggestions I got, Jack "the ripper" is the
one that seems to work best on my system, with the ogg encoder. At a
bit rate of 160 kbps ogg sounds great. Thanks for all the suggestions.
Now if I can ask one more quetion: what's a good jukebox? I have about
180 CDs I want to rip and be able to managed. Jamin, what did you feed
those play lists into?
Thanks,
Shyamal
PS: I have to say that my hatred for file names with Spaces in them is
the only knock I have against Jack, and I suppose that is easy to fix
in the config file (which is just Python, wheee...).
