Ripping CD

[T o n g <mlist4suntong@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I'm wondering what's the proper tools for ripping/copying CDs. 

Sorry to bring up an "old" topic again, but I felt that a popular tools 3 
or 5 years ago might not be popular any more and there might be better 
(developed/maintained) tools available now.

Seems that all such GUI tools are based on cdparanoia. I'm mostly looking 
for GTK or CLI based tools. But still, there are lots to choose from. I'm 
wondering what's the popular and better developed and maintained ones.

Also, if I want to copy audio CDs as-is. or convert/burn existing encoded 
audio files to CD, including the Lossless compression APE format, what's 
the proper tools for that?

All in all, I'm asking for a all-round solution for CD ripping/writing 
tools.

Thanks
