[NBLUG/talk] CD collections

[Christopher Wagner]

Well, my first question is: What format are you trying to end up with? 
ogg, mp3, wav?

Secondly, this doesn't sound like default behavior for grip, perhaps a
config reset is necessary, but we'll get to that later.

What distro are you running?

Ideally, what you should end up with is not a lot of extraenous
directory structure and just enough to help sort like you want.  grip is
very flexible about how it created the directory structure.

Let's start with those questions and go from there.
