[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 849291, member: 323322"] I recently got an E Mail from Amazon telling me about their new MP3 Cloud service and advising me that a goodly number of Albums I'd bought from them on CD were now freely available as MP3. Now, being a Luddite of the first water, I've never used a portable MP3 player, so I took the opportunity to lash out £10 for one from eBay. Whilst awaiting delivery, I thought I'd start downloading these free MP3s from the Cloud. But no: Only in Windows and Mac can one download an entire Album in one go. In Linux, one must do it Track by Track. S*d this for a game of soldiers, I thunk, and I found instead a wonderfully simple and light App. called [I]ripperx[/I] so I could start producing my own MP3s from the CDs. It's really simple to use and has Registration-free access to an online CDDB Resource which has not failed me yet. As for Amazon, I deleted the bally lot, apart from Val Doonican's Greatest Hits (which was one we had bought as a gift for my long departed Mother in Law) which I did actually download track by track. Amazon asked for Feedback, so they got both barrels. But as for [I]ripperx[/I], I strongly recommend it. Expecting the personal player tomorrow and do have a slight concern it won't exactly be Plug and Play in Linux Mint, but no doubt chaps on the Interweb thingy know how to overcome any snags. Edit: Hmm. I see only leading Capital Letters are allowed in Topic titles >> CDs has become Cds. At least they're not Cd's ........... ! [/QUOTE]
