You'll probably need a script written for that, since it would require multiple applications. mount and eject are already in DSL. As far as I know there is nothing included in DSL to rip, but you could use the cdparanoia extension to do it.

As far as the actual script goes...well it probably wouldn't be too complicated, but i don't think i'd feel comfortable writing one here unless i had the desire to also test it (which i don't).

OK,

I'll play around with cdparanoia, lame and mpg123 for awhile. Not sure how to trigger a script from the CD insertion (?). Kind of hate to run a cron every minute or so. I'm sure there's a way around it.

Sounds pretty cool, i was just playing around with the eject command -pretty cool. Crappy window$ will only allow me to eject my drives, even though the hardware is capable of closing also.

Now i can write scripts to open, and close the drive for no apparent reason. COOL!!

MS doesn't want anyone to sue them because the computer told the drive to close the tray and the user's finger got caught in there.

They need all of their lawyers to keep busy defending from antitrust lawsuits.
