Re: Audio CD questions

[Jozsef Bakosi <stroke@fraunhofer.org>]

Hello Roberto,

I use abcd with cdparanoia to grab and oggenc to encode in ogg. (No 
patents with oggs!) Although these are console tools, they work just 
perfect without any interaction, ie. grabbing cds track by track, 
encoding them into ogg (you can set it to mp3 too, if you'd like mp3 
better). If you want gui, I would suggest grip.

Regards,
Jozsef
