Under Linux they user mostly ' grip' or 'ripperx' . The first one I have tried and looks a lot like CDex under Windows. I you van install the programs for flac and lame you can rip-on-the-fly to mp3 or flac. It uses cdparanoia for ripping but has a nice front-end for it. > > BTW -- also saw a post where they said EAC was better at ripping that > cdrdao/cdparanoia. Is that true? If so, why? >
Most of the cdreaders out there have a cache. I have read that for proper ripping the cache needs to be disabled. On linux cdparanoia can not disable the cache so a cacheless cdromdrive is being recommended for ripping with cdparanoia. Ffor an exact rip sectors from a damaged cd will be read repeatedly. When a cddrive is cached repeated reading is of no use because the information would be read out of the cache instead of the cd. EAC can disable the cache but is a Windows-program. With a no-cache cdromdrive there should be no difference in quality-ripping between cdparanoia and EAC.
