Grip is good. Konqueror is fine as well.

i absolutely prefer asunder - easy to configure & use
gnormalize is also very good, supports lots of codecs (ebuilds at bugs.gentoo.org)

I think I'm going to try asunder. I had to reinstall last night. Apparently I never got a clean base running. Just got my beloved fluxbox back this evening, and I've got emerge sweating in another desktop, probably well into tomorrow.

Regardless, I didn't like Grip, and asunder apparently does multithreading. Hopefully that'll make it faster. Grip took forever to get thru a CD.

think i have tried most of the rippers in portage. Didn't like grip, and I recall i had some kind of problem with grip. Donät remember what it was though. As asunder sets id3v2-tags when needed it doesn't matter that much.

I've had problems with special charachers in tags as well, with easytag. I think it's just an inherent problem to tags. The filenames were set properly by easytag, but the charachers would show up only in apps that supported them. They weren't visible in a terminal for example. I've decided to simpy not use special charachers.

Tagtool handles all special characters I've used correctly. It's a nice GTK app, bad people says bad things about GTK but when the apps are written good, GTK is unbeatable.

You mean Asunder?

Have just had a look at the last CD I ripped, Sensus by Cristina Branco, which has Portugese titles, and they were written OK..

That's odd because even 'é' gor wierd for me. Perhaps you run unicode? I never got that to work.

I must say that so far I like KAudioCreator the best. Does it's job and is easy to configure.

Well not for me at least. It has been rock stable. YMMV, though.

Have you tried Konqueror's audiocd:/ method?

I am seeing errors like the following in tagtool

Seems like different programs work for those who use UTF-8 and those who don't. How I wish linux would make unicode work some day.

kaudiocreator is pretty cool, its the only ripping solution for linux i've tried, but for me the character replacement in filename generation doesn't work.

that is, when i pick "replace ' ' with '_'" in the dialog, the generated filenames still have spaces.

for me its irritating, especially because i did all my ripping to a 2nd harddrive, and tried out a couple of distros i installed on the 1st hard drive. even reinstalling means having to explicitly change the permissions for my new user to access all directories and files on the 2nd drive. because i don't know bash scripting, and i mostly work in kde (can't be root) this is a hassle -- the window manager "sees" mouse input in terms of the file i am indicating, but cant' change it without a password. in the terminal (where i can be root) i can't specify the file if it has spaces. (i am sure there is a way but i don't know it.)

what i would like is a ripper with character replacement that works. and then a solution to just add permission for my user to access my 2nd drive with one command.

but the permissions issue is solely in the filesystem right? maybe i'll just reformat to fat32..
