I prefer Grip and would be interested in how this goes.
I have started ripping to flac with the maximum compression (not worried
about time) and let it go. Drive space is cheap, time isn't. Once I
get a full drive ripped, I then make a backup on a different drive that
is outside the computer.
If you get it working, write a howto.
There are some media converters available from yum that we use when we
want to get the songs onto our portable player. My iRiver will play ogg
files. I am looking for one that uses memory cards and will play flac
files.
