A Different Kind of Ripping

This weekend I finally got around to doing a test run for a project I've been wanting to do for a while. You see, my dad has a ton of old Jazz records and someday it's just not going to be that easy to listen to them on vinyl. In some cases it's possible to get the stuff on CD, but in others it isn't. This weekend I gave a try at ripping two of his records. Dave Brubeck's Dave Brubeck At Storyville: 1954 and Old Sounds from San Francisco. Both came out quite well. The one thing they're really missing though is the notes from the album covers. A lot of these old records have a lot of text on them talking about the music and the songs on them. Unfortunately there isn't as easy a way to get that information on the computer. I could scan it, but it would be quite a job to get it all looking right since album covers are pretty big. Maybe if I feel so inclined I could type the information in from some of them. But there still really isn't a great way to store all this information together. I could put it in the same directory as the files for the album, but I'd love something that mp3 software could easily choose to make available as you are playing a song (beyond the info field that mp3s allow).
