    I think the intention of Tippo is to have a paper catalogue of all your music physically available to look at. I for myself would like to put all the inlays of the CD-boxes in one large book that I can browse.

    For debian, I've got the following init script. I've taken this from some skeleton script and modified it.
    Although it does work, there are peculiarities preventing the PID to be recorded at all.
    Maybe someone can use it as inspiration and make it fully functional....

    The complete script uses two files, one for the actual script, and one for configuring it. I will post both as separate comments.
