grip is good for ripping (it uses cdparanoia) and compressing (I use lame). Not as good as EAC for windows IMHO, unfortunately. The feature I miss in grip is that it does not signal exactly where it eventually encounters an error during the rip process, so you can judge if it is fine or you need to do something about it (i.e., use a different CD reader). Not an issue if your CDs are all in good shape, though.
Note that lame is not included in the MDK distribution for license issues. You need to download the sources from www.mp3dev.org or from sourceforge and compile them on your system, but it is really easy. Somebody also suggested using a real 'free' codec, i.e. Ogg Vorbis. raffaele [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hello, > > I'm looking for a tool to convert my own audio cd's into mp3 files.
