Hello, and sorry for my poor english

Usually you have two ways to set information about the CD you are ripping/encoding : either you enter it manually (which is boring), or you start a CDDB lookup (which works only when you are connected to internet)

iTunes has its clever third way : when you rip a CD, you are not connected internet but you probably will in the future. So it remembers in his database which CD was ripped (DISCID, ...), you can later select the files with no tag information, and ask for the infos from the internet.

Something like that could work in KDE :
KIO_AUDIOCD see it has incomplete information
He stores in a hidden file (which name is to be choosen) in the destination directory

DISCID=f70db710 TRACK=4 FILENAME="Piste 04.mp3" MD5SUM="072e6c392544ce711379d3d2f0891ee0"

where MD5SUM is something like the MD5 of the first 1000 bytes of the MP3/vorbis file, so we can found it even if the file was renamed

juK or amaroK (or rhythmbox perhaps) see this file and use it to rename && add a complete ID3 tag to the filename.
