There are for example mp3c, grip, ripperx and probably also some other |
| 12 |
programs that can do this job. |

There is no metadata for the songtitles on the CD but AFAIK every CD |
| 15 |
has an unique ID. The CD ripper programs are searching online for this |
| 16 |
ID in the so called cddb (CD DataBase) and if someone has insert the |
| 17 |
songtitles of the according CD to this database before, the ripped |
| 18 |
CD tracks are automatically renamed to the respective title. |
| 19 |
If nobody has added your CDs to the database, you can do this by |
| 20 |
yourself with the ripper software which can also transfer these |
| 21 |
information to the cddb. |

Sorry for my probably unintelligible sentences, but I'm not a native |
