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!

    Hrrrmmm, yes. I’m starting to think there is no currently maintained, FOSS application that will both rip and tag MP3 files for me now.

    Whipper seems to only outputs FLACs. FRE:AC doesn’t display correctly on my PC. I’m going to try Asunder next, but it too isn’t maintained, it seems.

    If only I could go write my own…
