When was the last time you need to rip tracks from CD? For me, I needed to rip a half-dozen of CDs in the past month. My only computer that still have a builtin CD-ROM drive runs Linux (Ubuntu.) It actually comes with RhythmBox that has the capability to rip (and play, of course) However, its default CD info database is MusicBrainz, which has trouble recognizing quite a few of my CDs. It does have a CDDB plugin (which I am too lazy to figure out how to install) Then I installed RipperX but got an error 22. Finally, I found that fre:ac works! And it came as a ApplImage so I didn't have to install anything. And it rips quicker than RhythmBox anyway. So, we have a winner!
