But with a bash script using less that a dozen lines of code one could accomplish the same thing and much, much more. The ripped wav files could easily be normalized, equalized, dithered, low-pass or high-pass or band-pass filtered, mixed, companded, etc., etc., before being finally compressed into flac, mac, ape, shorten, ogg, mp3, etc., etc., etc., and then even burned onto another CD/DVD or medium of choice. Let's see KDE with its 10,000 (I jest) support libraries top that. Frank Peters
