[clug] Ripping CDs

[Nemo Thorx]

abcde is also my main ripper, but I've got a fondness for 'jack' (no,
not the audio toolchain at jackaudio.org, but the ripper at
http://www.home.unix-ag.org/arne/jack/  (or apt-get install jack)

it's not quite as easy to use (imho) as abcde, and has a slightly
different feature set, but it sure does have a fantastically better UI

Despite being apparently 7 years abandoned, it still works. After all,
like abcde, it's really just a wrapper around cdparanoia,
lame/oggenc/flac/etc, and cddb(freedb) lookup :) 


Personally, what I want is for cdparanoiao[23] to be updated to be able to
handle subchannel data extraction. (from memory it can do "track 0"
rips, but only with compatible hardware, and the latest release (itself
3 years old) fixes its previous caching shortfalls)


Ripping data in a totally archival manner? That's tricky. Is that why
everyone torrents? :)
