Yes, grip on very recent 9.0-CURRENT (amd64) with cdparanoia and lame for coding. Works fine with the following parameters: cdparanoia '/path to mp3/%A/%d/%t__%n.wav', no other options; lame '/path to mp3/%A/%d/%t__%n.%x', options '-h -b %b %w %m'. > Does anyone have a recommendation for a replacement?
