A number of analog ripping tools I have seen elsewhere perform a basic useful function. They stop recording after a long enough period of silence, ie. after the end of the tape or disk, and then strip off that silence from the final file. For people with a lot of tapes or records, automating the process as much as possible is highly desired. We aren't at the "Stick on an album, hit go, and come back to have a series of split ogg/mp3 files with names" level that we could be at, but how close can we get to that?
(Yes, we could be at that. Thanks to databases like cddb/freedb, it's possible based on the ratio of track lengths and a few hints to find out the names of tracks and how long they should be etc. even for pre-CD albums, and there are some tools to help with this, but again nothing fully automatic.)
