I think that the best application to grab audio from a CD is EAC. It is only available for windows (I know that this a Debian forum). This program is one of the reasons I keep a windows partition in my hard drive. I does a great job specially with CDs which are not good (ex. scratch). It has lot of features like detection of read errors or comparing some kind of hash of the ripping with a database, etc... It also has many options to write a CUE sheet. You need a CUE sheet to make an exact copy of your CD with your tracks(ex. in flac or mp3) EAC is what I have used to convert my CD collection to flac. It is worthy to use it. Unfortunately it runs in windows :( I think you can run it with wine http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3699&iTestingId=989 Dan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
