Can't rip one single CD with Asunder

Hi.

I always ripped CDs with asunder since i use linux. With Arch, then with Gentoo but when i came back to Arch, recently i can't rip a damn CD with asunder. Depending on the CD it will stop at a certain percentage of progress and then, if i cancel it it freezes and i have to kill the process... The problem is that it can be hours like that it won't post an error, just stops.

I think i was able to do 1 or 2 CDs... But I tried with lots of them... It's not a anti-copy protection problem because discs i had ripped before (with asunder) and then i deleted now can't be ripped...

Does anybody have this problem too?

Edit: if you can recommend me any alternative which is GTK+ based and doesn't need GNOME dependencies (i use fluxbox, don't need that stuff), able to encode with FLAC and Lame (mp3), good CDDB support, you're welcome

pacman -S rubyripper

This one can even encode to several formats as once.. has cue support, replaygain support, freedb support and is very secure... (meaning your rip will sound good, without glitches)

Re: Can't rip one single CD with Asunder

Yeah, I too am having asunder problems. It's my favorite ripper, as it will do both FLAC & MP3 at the same time, while creating playlists, all with little or no input. But it only gets 25% - 75% of the way thru a CD and then hangs. Not sure what its problem is.

Maybe I'll give rubyripper a try.
