Batch Ripper Costs, Metadata & Workflow

[Funkoid]

I'm in the process of hacking together a 2-3 drive "ripping station" out of an old duplicator. It's for a personal collection but like everyone I'm always short on time.

Before upgrading my suite to accommodate this too I was trying to factor in my workflow with the intent of it being "headless" and not bother with another screen for it. I actually have a tidy blue/white LCD waiting to be used for something like this which would be cool to display progress etc. but I'll keep it on topic.

• Is there still a lookup charge for each disc if using Batch Ripper?

• How do you personally ensure that all discs are ripped with the correct metadata? I've had a fair few over the years with wrong data being returned before starting a rip?

• If a disc was ripped with incorrect metadata would perfect tunes pickup on that

• Workflow wise, is it good to have a 'new rip' file structure, then a 'checked/processed' directory these are copied to after having been manually verified?

• Can any output of Batch Ripper be tapped into in order to read status/ progress out to elsewhere e.g. to LCD (very nice to have question, not essential!)

• Thanks!

If you want to add in GD3 there is a per disc look up cost.

Only by manually viewing the metadata can it be checked, the commercial rippers have eyes on each disc before it rips, even with autoloaders.

It is not possible to have the status on a LCD
