Right-- actually, since Sound Juicer is part of the core GNOME desktop, the "Sound Juicer" part shouldn't be in the name on the upstream menus either. The HIG says to use the functional name only, for core desktop apps. > It would probably make sense to update the UI > spec so we use the upstream name. I think the upstream > "Audio CD Extractor" is as good as "CD Ripper". The UI spec suggests a different name because, thanks to popular usage, more people are likely to know what a "CD Ripper" is than an "Audio CD Extractor", so it seemed like a more sensible choice. Even Windows Media Player calls this function "ripping" rather than "extracting", IIRC. As with all the proposed .desktop file differences in the UI spec, I'd suggest trying to push our version upstream first. If the maintainer doesn't agree, then we can decide whether our version adds enough value to keep it or not.
