[vorbis] Fw: CD Ripper Beta Software: RipTrax

There are 400 ripping apps that support CBR Ogg. RipTrax will be the only
one supporting VBR if you add support for it. I can't think of a good reason
to rip to CBR Ogg from a CD? Anyone? I know that if a ripping tool let me
choose between CBR and VBR, I'd never use the CBR mode.

Yes, the click once then click again method works for me. (Win2k Pro
SP2/SMP)
However, it's totally counter-intuitive to me, given that this isn't an
"Explorer" window. I don't expect those metaphors to hold. I suggest
allowing F2 (the standard rename hotkey) as well as double-click to put the
app into "rename" mode. Also, it would be nice to have a context menu on
right-click "Rip this track" "Rename this track", etc.

Also, it would be nice if the app had a friendlier error when the reader
doesn't support C2 Error information. I just tried it on a Plextor 24/10/40
(no C2 support), and it took me a moment to realize that I needed to change
error correction modes.

Also also, there appears to be no way to select an alternate output
directory.

Also also also,  the tagging results are not appropriate with "Various
Artists" CDs. I have to manually re-tag the files. Example:
Album: Nativity In Black II
Artist: Tribute To Black Sabbath
Title: Static-X / Behind the Wall of Sleep

That should be:
Album: Nativity In Black II - Tribute To Black Sabbath
Artist: Static-X
Title: Behind the Wall of Sleep

Thanks for your efforts, by the way.
