My new years resolution is to get more of my media consolidated and get rid of most of my CD cases. To do this, I'm using EAC + mareo to extract to FLAC and MP3s using lame.
EAC was a bit frustrating because they have installed some ebay spyware in the bundle which Forefront dutifully is blocking. I went back to an older beta off CNET and they don't include that silliness anymore. FLAC still seems to be the right choice of lossless. I wish Apple and Microsoft would just adopt it.
I also am going to adopt GTD-style apps and find a system that works for me. Remember the Milk doesn't work well for me because I have to maintain too many lists to get what I can't work on out of my sight. If I have to scrub 12+ lists, I don't get the benefits of focus. Hiveminder is the next one on my todo but I don't like the braindump notation that much. Perhaps the command line tools will win me over.
My other goal is to finally get with the HD generation on TV watching. Currently, juggling the best mix of TV to get Tivo HD (p1), DVD (p1), Hulu (p1), NetFlix (p1), BluRay (p2-3) passed up the TV with a few devices.
