SoulSe Posted November 28, 2002 Report Share Posted November 28, 2002 I need some help. I'm looking for a good rip n' encode program for Linux. Grip doesn't cut it (I'm a bit of an audiophile, ya see). I used Music Match Jukebox for Linux, which is a complete joke. In Windoze, I used to use Exact Audio Copy with Lame, can't seem to find a program for Linux that meets those standards (the output files are intended for radio playback). Lemme know.

zero0w Posted November 28, 2002 Report Share Posted November 28, 2002 Grip doesn't cut it. Humm... I would like to know - maybe there are commandline setting to adjust the bit rate inside the Grip config dialogue box/Tab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted November 29, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2002 Perhpas a little explanation is necessary: I do not have a problem with Grip, what Grip boils down to is a GUI for cdparanoia and lame (or whatever rip and enocde programs you need). My problem with it is that I need to spend time on each cd getting it going, now for my application (radio work) I need to rip and encode large amounts of music every day. So I guess what I mean is that I need something more reliable and quicker (not in the actual rip & encode, but in getting it going). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mandrake123 Posted November 29, 2002 Report Share Posted November 29, 2002 CDEX for windows does work in wine. Also RipperX is a good app for linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cage47 Posted November 29, 2002 Report Share Posted November 29, 2002 Yeah, grip works ok but it's dog slow. I have a program (the last thing I use windows for) in my WIn95 box called Easy CD Ripper. Rips songs and converts them to mp3's in half the time grip does. I use that and have my two machines netowrked so I just pull them from the win box to my linux machine and burn from there. (now I have my cd rw in linux working good) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtweidmann Posted November 29, 2002 Report Share Posted November 29, 2002 Have you tried using the Audio CD slave in KDE? In the KDE control centre these all the options for setting quality/encoding method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
