That's nice. But with a bash script using less that a dozen lines |
| 16 |
of code one could accomplish the same thing and much, much more. |

The ripped wav files could easily be normalized, equalized, dithered, |
| 18 |
low-pass or high-pass or band-pass filtered, mixed, companded, etc., etc., |
| 19 |
before being finally compressed into flac, mac, ape, shorten, ogg, mp3, |
| 20 |
etc., etc., etc., and then even burned onto another CD/DVD or medium |
| 21 |
of choice. |

Let's see KDE with its 10,000 (I jest) support libraries top that. |
