"What a nice, short article that would be. My brother-in-law can rip CDs without using his second brain cell. How hard could it be?" Well, my notes alone are almost four thousand words, and I still have nothing resembling success. The current incarnation of my attempt is using grip, dagrab, and lame. dagrab pulls a track off of my CD just fine, but stores it in my home directory. It appears that grip directs lame to the wrong place to pull it from. Does anyone have this combination working -- or, indeed, any combination of tools working? Could you send me the command-line options you need to make this happen? I'll be happy to credit helpful folks when this article hits the Web. I'd like a combination that does not require the reader to, say, hack up a Perl script to make things work. Any help would be appreciated.
