I went through the HAL FAQ before I came here. Great info, by the way. I created a new account on my system and tried reproducing the problem. It worked without flaw. Turns out that, by default, it uses a blank value in the 'device' string under gconf. Put that under my own user profile and, success. Would it be wise to remove my current gconf profile and start from scratch, or should it not matter that much? Any other configuration info that might be stale from previous versions? I've been using gnome on this machine for some time. Not satisfied with mere success, I tried to figure out what went wrong. After some tinkering, I discovered that my original problem was likely caused by changing which CD device I was trying to rip with. I have two and, I believe, I was attempting to get a cleaner rip on a scratched CD by trying the other. Doing so caused the 'device' string in gconf to become the scsi address. It looks like, when the default device is changed, breakage occurs. Both devices work by passing the '- d /dev/cdX' flag at the command prompt. I suppose I can just avoid using the alternate device for now, but it seems like a possible bug?

The problem is that I have limited options when taking itunes and an ipod into account. Maybe I can use the id3mux plugin to attach the header, and use easytag to add the compatible version of id3.
