I used abcde for a while, and hacked it to do some things I wanted, like
applying de-emphasis with sox when needed.  I think it's some pretty
amazing bash scripting.

Now I'm using icedax, which is extremely fast and has built in
pre-emphasis detection and de-emphasis.  For a primitive kind of
"secure" ripping, I just rip to wav twice and compare checksums (this is
all done automatically in the background with a shell script).  Icedax
is so fast that it's still much faster than abcde/cdparanoia even when
ripping twice. (Don't bother using it's cddb retrieval feature though:
it hanldes Latin1 charaters incorrectly).  Interesting, when checksums
fail to match, it's usually the LG drive I bought recently, and not the
Lite-on drive I have that is several years old.
