    CentOS was nice while it lasted, but you gamers and knob-twiddlers want to bloat out every distro with bells, whistles, and kitchen sinks. I'm sure it wouldn't have met your demands.

    Ubuntu-studio has worked nicely for my creative arts endeavours.

    https://ubuntustudio.org

    I still prefer Debian because I can install it on a Pentium II for a scripting development workstation. I'm still slowly plugging away at a PHP command line wrapper for cdrdao that can parse the CD-TOC, pull out the track info, and then allow the
    track01...etc files to be renamed properly after compressing them to 320kb mp3 and moved to the properly named directory.

    The ability to type "rip_cd" and have it rip from my default CD-ROM and put the mp3s in my music collection is nice.

    keep your mouth shut about it because that way you don't get in a wreck. I never partook in such activities because the whole idea is just repulsive. I think that's a big part of what I don't like about you. I've seen how they act and I've talked to a

    Yes, it's called a CD-ROM. I only bother to use flac for source bit rates greater than 44.1kHz and bit depths greater than 16. The only CDs I have personally seen succumb to "bit rot" are all writable CDs.

    Peter Gabriel III 2003 SACD remastered source in 24bit/88.1kHz, is an example of what I am talking about.

    =?UTF-8?B?8J+Ps++4j+KAjfCfjIg=?= I used Asunder to rip to .flac, then run a script[1] to use metaflac to
    =?UTF-8?B?8J+Ps++4j+KAjfCfjIg=?= extract the meta info, lame write the mp3, then id3 to set the meta info

    Mind the bit depths. I have found that 24bit sample depth mp3s are not very portable between hardware decoders. My car stereo won't play them off of USB, it just hangs.

    I know damned well Greg got sick of all that shit, and now I'm sick of it too. Those who choose to get led around by the lowest common denominator are fucking up AC and every other group they play that game in. If that's the kind of Usenet they want,

    revolting. That's why the whole "Bubba" thing is almost completely a myth, except in cell living. That shit wouldn't fly in a 100-man dorm, but trust me, those little trollops find ways to serve the willing when the lights go out. You see something, you
    keep your mouth shut about it because that way you don't get in a wreck. I never partook in such activities because the whole idea is just repulsive. I think that's a big part of what I don't like about you. I've seen how they act and I've talked to a
