- Correct tags: get them from freedb and correct errors / inconsistencies by hand (!)
- Add cover art
Programs used:
- EAC:
- Install EAC (0.99, i had problems with 1.0beta under ubuntu 10.04)
- configure you cd drive using the wizard
- download and configure the flac compressor in eac
- mp3tag: Download and install
Procedure: Use EAC and mp3tag in parallel
- EAC:
- Insert CD in drive
- ALT-G yes → Get mp3 tags from freedba
- SHIFT-F5 → Rips and compress to directory incoming
- mp3tag
- Check tags: ctrl-a and check/correct
- CD title (with number for classic cds) (e.g. Weihnachtsoratorium (CD1)
- CD Number
- Artist (Harnoncour, Schäfer, Fink, Güra, …), Cover artist (Harnoncourt, Nikolaus), Composer (Bach, Johann Sebastian)
- CTRL-S → Save
