RE: Recommendations for ripping problem discs and organizing mp3's by genre?
I did much the same but with my CD collection.
I used Sound Juicer to rip (you can rip to many formats including custom
bitrates also).
As to the hierarchy you mentioned, again using Sound Juicer, you can set the
destination, the sort order, the sort parms (IE artist, album, etc).
This would create the directories for you based on your choices.
Sound Juicer is GUI and easy to use. Of course, there are many other options
out there to use - I just mentioned what I used and was happy with.

Subject: Recommendations for ripping problem discs and organizing mp3's by
genre?
A few years ago I digitized my LP collection onto cdroms, and only now am I
getting around to converting them to mp3's. I'm talking hundreds of homemade
discs, many with two different albums on each disc.
I thought I would ask for some advice on ripping and organizing. I am
running Wheezy with Gnome (and CLI sometimes)
Currently I am using GRIP. I like it, it works fine, but it doesn't deal
well with problem discs. For instance, it tries very hard to resolve a
problem reading the disc, but sometimes gets hung and doesn't allow aborting
or skipping a bad track during ripping. Any suggestions on how to best deal
with problems discs and which software to use? Is there a howto or tutorial
on how to deal with problem discs?
Secondly, I would like to be able to create playlists based on genre, to
then use that playlist in random mode with a console program similar to
mpg123. Suggestions on how to do that? Would it be as simple as creating
folder trees for each genre then using a script to generate a playlist? or
do you know of a easier way?
There are so many programs to choose from I just thought I'd get a few
recommendations from the list. Some of the programs I've looked at seem too
feature-rich for my needs. I prefer simple-but-robust programs and using
built-in CLI commands when possible.
Thanks,
Keith Ostertag
