You can use something like grip. It's been around for ages and does what it's supposed to do.

Re: cd ripping
You can try asunder then. It has far less dependencies. Or you try whatever music manager that you're running. Or you can use cdparanoia to dump the tracks and encode with something external...
There's options.

Re: cd ripping
+1 for asunder
It's simple and works like a charm. It can also look up metadata in the CDDB which is great for players such as cmus.

Re: cd ripping
From console I think "rip" is good enough basic ripping.

Re: cd ripping
abcde is the best ripper I've used.
Thanks for that suggestion. I'm reading through the man page right now and I'm impressed with how configurable|scriptable it is. Now I just need a robot to switch CDs to fully automate the ripping process.

Is the CD scratched? Are you able to rip it with something else?

Great question. cdparanoia will take until its own death to try to recover broken data if the media is bad.

Re: cd ripping
We think we have the asunder hang fixed. It was my favorite ripper, as you can easily rip to multiple formats (I rip to MP3 for portables and FLAC for my computer), but it started hanging. I finally broke down and debugged it and I think we have it fixed. It was a threading problem (stab my eyes out with a spork why don't you..) I'm hoping that Andrew will have a fixed version released this week. It seems to only happen on 64bit distros.
