I have decided the time has come to put our CD library - around 400 of
'em - onto HDD.

I need a software package - preferably free or inexpensive - that will
rip the CDs to mp3/wav/ogg/aac, provide a directory system that can be
sorted by track name, artist, or album, and be able to retrieve track
information from the Interweb. Basically I suppose I'm looking for
something like iTunes but I already use that and want to keep this
library separate.

Anyone in the know?

Can't help for Windows OS I'm afraid. But there are Linux packages that do
that, so I assume you can find them for Windows as well. If not. I assume
you could dual-boot or VM Linux.

I just use a ROX front end for things like cdparanoia, but since I'm not
reading commercial recordings I don't use any of the 'read details from web
database' methods as there is no such info for the discs I read.

Slainte,

Jim
