However, this is not original material. The object is not to
build a bridge out of matchsticks, but, with an economy of
effort, to use a computer as an audio jukebox. A commercial
package would capture the CD in one step, and frankly, I don't
care what the internal representation is. It just so happens
that CD burner programs universally have an option to save a
disk image.

I don't see what the big deal is. Just rip the CD's to your hard
drive with a suitable program. Couple of clicks per CD. You want
covers? Scan 'em. What's the problem?

What program do you suggest?

Take your pick, there are dozens of alternatives. I sometimes use a
thing called WinDAC for ripping. Canon 3200F for scanning. Both are
quick, simple and easy to use.

Which of them automatically build cue lists from the CDs they rip?

That is not compulsory.

Obviously, your grasp of the thread leaves something to be desired, Dormer.
