A friend of mine is taking on the challenge of turning their 3000 odd CD collection into MP3's to store on a large hard drive. They're bought a computer and now want the required software to:
1. read CD's to convert into MP3's
2. catalogue all the MP3's
This guy isn't an expert so it's very important that the programs are user friendly. I'm guessing that the first program will be easier to find because Google is full of results but I'm unsure on what the best software is for cataloging the music is... he wants to be able to sort into albums, customised generes, customised playlists, maybe an option to scan album cover, write user comments, etc. Any suggestions on this are welcomed.
In addition, he is later planning to get an iPod so compatibility with this is required. Is iTunes software worth looking at?
Thanks in advance.
