I tried fre:ac but got an error from cddb when trying to connect to the database. Looking to rip to both FLAC and to Opus. Ideally with the latest codec updates.
Any recommendations?
If you’re okay using WINE, EAC is the best CD audio ripping software. Here’s a decent setup guide: https://eacguide.github.io/
Don’t use cddb, use the optional CUETools DB plugin that can be installed during the EAC installation.
Also use EAC on Linux with wine.
This is the correct answer.
abcdehttps://abcde.einval.com/wiki/ looks good!
abcde uses whatever current codecs you have installed, it doesn’t do any of its own encoding
Red Book hasn’t been updated since 1980, I think you’ll be okay.
I’ve never had a problem with
abcde -o flac
I personally encountered no issues at all with it, for me this just feels like “finished” software
I used that (and decoded the acronym as I read it — a better cd encoder)
Cdparanoia to make sure I get a good rip. Then flacenc to convert to flac. Then Picard to tag and organize it.
cdparanoia has been excellent for more than two decades.
Wow, I’m bookmarking this comment, good info 👍.

I then run the album through Picard to make sure all the tagging is correct.
I usually use grip, but I think that’s not maintained anymore.
Dragging and dropping in KDE usually works as well. It has a built-in ripper, presenting an audio cd as wav, ogg, mp3 or flac files.
Just ripped a friend’s entire collection using cyanrip. Might be more powerful tools out there but I wanted something from the CLI.

Really? Like the drive shows up and everything? Didn’t think this worked in wine.
I’m using the Whipper docker container mostly successfully.
Is there any additional documentation or forum beyond the github readme
Edit: Is there a cheat-sheet of
whippercommands?-h for help should list commands, and it’s nested so you can get help for each subcommand. You’ll want to read the Getting Started section.
Most of the software people are suggesting here is ancient. A lot of it does not support accurip checks or drive offset correction, which I consider to be essential features. Don’t use abcde, I made that mistake a few years ago
cyanrip is definitely the way to go, there really is no alternative that has the same feature set. Other than EAC in wine if you require scorable 100% log files.
I use grip, generally.
I have used Asunder before, no complaints
K3b.
Asunder CD Ripper is pretty much the only one I’ve ever used and it’s great.
Or abcde for command line.
Lots of solid recommendations. If you additionally want to image the cd, you can use dd.
