Um, yes, in my own semi-literate way, that's what I was saying (I
thought)  ;-)

If you open grip and go to "config", and look under "rip" it gives you a
choice of rippers (mine is set at cdparanoia), if you look under
"encode" it gives you a choice of encoders, some of which were the
encoders I mentioned.

Cutting the space budget really restores my faith in humanity.  It
eliminates dreams, goals, and ideals and lets us get straight to the
business of hate, debauchery, and self-annihilation.
