Bruno, I got the PM thanks!

But get this:!!!!

I was testing the "--alt-preset standard" setting... The program ripped along at a decent rate... dumping all the WAV's to the folder. The I saw the program (AudioGrabber) create the folder for the mp3's. When it was done, a little window popped up, one after another, for each track. Each window was up for only 1/2 second. Each time, it did, the WAV disappreared. I was shocked it was working this fast and knew it wasn't encoding this fast. When it was done, I looked in the folder it created for the album and it was empty.... this thing ripped to WAV, created a folder, then erased all the WAV's! wff?!
