[Discuss] Ripping Audio Cd then copying to Android

[John Abreau]

I've always used Grip to rip my CDs to WAV files, mainly because it
automatically fetches the CDDB data  and saves it in a text file.

I store each ripped album on my file server, one directory per disc, with
the CDDB metadata in a file named CDDB.txt, a 500x500 image of the album's
cover in a file named COVER.jpg, and optionally a LYRICS.txt file in the
format from the old UWP lyrics database from the early 1990's.

I also have some scripts I wrote that generate flac, mp3, and ogg files
from the wav files, using the CDDB.txt file to set the ID3 info.

Keeping it all text and commandline-based is intended to "future-proof" the
data by not locking it into an non-portable, application-specific format. I
do the same for my photo gallery, video archives, and repository of scanned
documents.
