anyway, a lot of the files won't play - says there are files missing. i'll try it in winamp, when i next have the time.
Damn. Could be the stupid ripping app. I'll have to resend them.
There's an appp to remove clothing? Linky, please!!!!
BTW, you can't spell, today - it's rescind!
... but seriously, Have you tried to use "Exact Audio Copy" with your operating system? I have not tried it with Ubuntu, but they are they same in some ways, they should work together if we can be smart-like.
EAC is the best ripping software I've seen.
