The default tool for CD ripping under Gnome is *Sound Juicer*, found under *Applications* → *Sound & Video* →
|
|
*Audio CD Extractor*. But this tool had severe problems recognizing my custom configuration for LAME encoding (I
|
|
changed `vbr-quality` from `6` to `2` but the tool ignored it) also you had to restart it for every configuration
|
|
change which means you have to re-enter all CD information.
|
|
|
|
So I tried [abcde](http://code.google.com/p/abcde/).
|
|
|
|
After installing the package [abcde](apt://abcde) and some other utilities (`id3`, `id3v2`, `flac`, `oggconvert`,
|
|
etc.), I copied the file `/etc/abcde.conf` to `~/.abcde.conf` and modified it according to [Andrew Strong's examples](http://www.andrews-corner.org/abcde.html)
|
|
and my own preference.
|
|
|
|
Now ripping a CD is as simple as typing `abcde` at the prompt.
|
|
|
|
* **Download my config:** [abcde.conf]({{ site.url }}/assets/abcde.conf)
