Hey hey, I have been using Sound Juicer on my Ubuntu 24 / KDE 5 PC and it works, but it doesn’t handle the tags for my MP3 files very nicely. I’ve also used abcde, at the terminal, and that can be better but it takes a lot finessing at the CLI to get the result I want.

Is there a better CD ripper application that will run on Ubuntu and can make setting the MP3 tags dead simple?

Thanks for any ideas!

Edit: Fixed a typo

ETA: Asunder looks good, does what I need and works well on my PC. Thanks for everyone’s ideas and help!

    @kyub@discuss.tchncs.de Sorry to spam you - but I ran whipper and it created FLACs. I want MP3s, even though I know that makes me evil. :)

    I’ve reviewed their github page and they don’t say it can directly output MP3s. Their example config file, for instance, doesn’t show a way to specify output format at all. Am I supposed to convert the files on my own then, or …? (That defeats my one step process but I’ll try if needed)
