I'm not sure...I thought starting the GUI, popping in the audio CD, and doing 3 clicks was about as automatic as it gets. :-)
Ah, starting the GUI... You Linux guys have gotten soft. ;) When I want to rip/encode a CD, I just type "encodecd" at my bash and it goes. Only problem is, my script doesn't do the CDDB stuff. Anyone know of a console CDDB client? That would allow my script to finish the job. Though, I'll check out Grip anyway. It sounds like it does all the cool stuff.
It sounds like what you might want is something that's polling the drive, looking for the insertion of a new CD, which it assumes it can rip. The ripping and encoding process commences. Once done, it sits patiently until you insert the next CD. The polling stops when you stop the original program. Is this the kind of thing which you seek? If so, I've never seen such a beast.
No, that's rediculous. :) -Chuck
