Re: Click n Rip

[Tim Hawes <timsyahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

EAC (Exact Audio Copy) does most of this, and has links to FreeDB for
tag
info. I use it with LAME for encoding to MP3, and apart from intial setup
and specifying the destination drive each time it's pretty much one-click.

Maybe there's an option for auto-save, I just haven't investigated.

HTH,

Tim.
