[ale] Ripping audio cds

[Jeff Hubbs]

I use Grip on Gentoo to go from CD to FLAC and I have my own Python 
script that uses sox and lame to make MP3s.  So I have a pair of similar 
directory trees, one with FLACs and one with MP3s.  Something I'm not 
doing right and need to fix (because my daughter gripes at me) is that 
I'm not handling track order properly somewhere along the line...When a 
directory of songs (representing an album) gets pulled into an iTunes 
library, I want to have it where the songs on each album will play in 
the original order.  I've been doing it by starting song names with 
track numbers (e.g., "01_tom_sawyer.mp3) but that screws up browsing for 
songs by name on the iPhone and other devices.  Can I maintain track 
number info from CD to FLAC to MP3 or do I need to have a more elaborate 
Grip configuration that makes FLACs and MP3s at the same time?
