Most things (naming, tagging, format selection) are handled. What you 
can't do is change encoding parameters (bitrate/quality etc.). But you 
can't do that in s-j either, except if you hack the gconf profiles. So
there's 
not much lost here. But you're right, it is less powerful than a ripper
gui.

Sure. I thought we already agreed on that. I'll make it a separate
module. But 
I'd like to have it available somehow through the official
gnome-vfs-sources 
(not source CODE, but the source where you get the code; just to be
clear) for 
those users/distributions who want it. Maybe as an own package. Is that 
okay with you?
