I prefer k3b (http://k3b.plainblack.com/), but ultimately all these
different linux ripper programs are just different user interfaces around
the cdparanioa library (http://www.xiph.org/paranoia/), so they are all
equally effective.

I havent used EAC, but I dont really understand what you are missing. Why is
it useful to know where the errors are occuring, so long as it extracts the
right data in the end?

Ive been using Easytag too. Ive just discovered Amarok's tag editing
features (after using it for years as player), and will definitely be
trying it more in future.

Im surprised noone else has mentioned that you can use mp3gain on linux. The
main tool at least, if not the Visual Basic gui.
