Ripping CDs

Hadn’t done this in a while. Thought I had already ripped most of my CDs that I liked years ago. However was looking for some Molly Hatchet, and none to be found in my collection. How can that be? I listened to them a lot back in the day. I loved Southern Rock. Also no Lynyrd Skynyrd. Crazy! Anywho, I used Asunder CD ripper to rip them. For the MP3 tags, it defaulted to a service that has shut down. Googling seemed to hint I needed to use MusicBrainz…or is it MusicBrainz Picard. WTH is with the Picard part? Was the author a Star Trek fan? IDK and IDC! This seemed to be software with no way to point to tell it to look at the CD. I could point it at a folder after I ripped the CD and then after identifying the files, it would identify the CD files. Which in it self was flawed, as it identified more files than were on the CD. Ripping and MP3 tags obviously something I rarely do these days. Not interested in reading all the how-to’s and Wikis. I just want to get it quickly working so I can get to my music and move on. To make a long story short finally informed Asunder to use the CDDB server gnudb.gnudb.org info here. May elaborate more later, but probably won’t.

Oh yeah…one last thing. I had to install lame to rip to MP3’s.
