On the Music tab, you can tell Rhythmbox where you store your
music files and how Rhythmbox should organize and store your music (including how folders are
named and how songs are titled, and the format in which music is stored).

Rhythmbox makes it easy to organize even large collections of music files.

the Click-N-Run service (www.cnr.com).

rip, right-click the CD when it appears under the Devices heading in the left column, and select
Copy to Library. The CD will be ripped and stored with your Rhythmbox music collection.
