too clever by half

xmcd2make

One day I got tired of typing in song names to the albums I was recording and encoding to ogg.

I knew that a lot of the albums I was recording had song listings available via the CD database at freedb.org.

So I took an .xmcd file, and I wrote a perl script to read xmcd and create ogg files using the output files I got from gramofile (processedxxx.wav’s)

[ . . . . ]

This worked so well that I set out to automate as much of the whole gramofile process as possible. Xmcd2make is the result of this work.

Very nice, indeed. But I wish there was some way to label the disc itself. mp3s are all very well, but I still like shiny discs and handlabelling them takes me back to making cassette tapes.
