Previously I used

but recently I went to rip some more, and abcde wasn't installed, so I used
hrmmm... you didn't install abcde. Should I read something into that?
Like it wasn't all that great?
cd-paranoia was, so I figured I'd give it a try. abcde got track names
from an online service, and I don't think cd-paranoia does. I usually
had to tweak the names to make them shell-friendly. The first time (when
I used abcde) I hade ~100 CDs to rip, so having that characteristic was
good. Later, it was just 1-2 at a time, so it's not a big deal to
rename trackNN.mp3 to whatever.
I didn't do a head to head comparison, if that's what you mean. Either
one gets the job done for me.
On windows the choice was easy.. Exact Audio Copy (EAC) + LAME
I found instructions for running EAC with WINE. Is that better than any
'native' app?
I have not used EAC but I avoid WINE if there's a native app.
Which is what I'm trying to do. I haven't installed wine yet, but EAC
might change my mind. And Irfanview. Why the **** isn't there an open
source view pretty much any image program for linux? xnview is free, but
not opensource, so I'm still looking for an image viewer ..
I've used feh, eog, and ristretto, and settled on ristretto. The only
images I've run across that it won't open are RAW images from some
camera. I did have to get a plugin or something (library?) for webp. I
use gimp if I have to do any editing.
