twirlgrrl | More CD ripping (Reply)

Now I'm done with all my "regular" CDs (except the stragglers that I keep finding in odd places) and am in the middle of the Grateful Dead-related stuff. The GD stuff takes a lot longer. I'm trying to name everything from the same series uniformly, which means I have to (a) figure out a naming convention for each series and (b) rename the tracks before ripping them. Also, I have multiple versions of many albums, because I have a couple box sets with remastered tracks, so I'm trying to get everything without duplicating everything. Then of course there are the live show recordings from friends, which require lookups of setlists, listening to a bit of each track, and naming each track as well as the show and date according to another naming convention before ripping. It's SO exciting to have access to all of this stuff but dang, it's taking forever.
