However, the following scenario with my laptop is causing problems: 1.) Go home or over to a friend's, where I don't have internet access. 2.) Decide that I want to rip+encode a CD of mine, or a CD for a friend, respectively. Now, I can still rip+encode the CD, but I don't have access to the freedb CD information database, so the MP3s end up being labeled Track1 Track2, etc... So here are my questions: ========================= 1.) Is there any way to automate the mp3 track labeling process after the fact? 2.) AFAIK, grip doesn't allow me to rip a CD to my hard disk, then easily label and encode the CD at a later time (when I have access to the internet and freedb). Is there a program that WILL do this? 3.) How do you usually handle this situation? Thanks! -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.
