Searched the forums and the above topics still aren't clear. My ongoing MythTV project has landed me into codec hell and after a few days of video and audio forums, I took the advice of Hydrogen Audio, arrived here and am impressed with the software.
Goals:
* Rip from either XP or Linux
* Linux player required. Maybe Songbird, maybe Itunes in future
* Ipod Integration. Seem like that eliminates wavpack.
* That would imply the need to retain two files, .flac and lame .mp3
Resources:
* 1 Terabyte of storage and could allocate a few hundred Gig for audio.
Can't think of a compelling reason not to go with -V 0.
* Very fast dual-core processor so processing time means little.
* Perl/Shell programmer.
Questions:
-- The lame forums recommended --vbr-new, is there a way to include this option with -V 0?
-- When ripping and accurate is reported, is there a need for secure, and in what circumstances would one select ultra-secure? Not adverse to the extra wear-and-tear on the readers, just curious.
-- AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: Please direct me to a source explaining tags: What format for directories or tags must I adhere to so that the myriad players e.g. Itunes, Songbird, Banshee, ... can import automatically. My first attempts have been miserable and I'm not against writing a Perl script if necessary.
Thanks
