  1. My choices... by Thornae · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ... are dagrab to rip (mainly coz cdda2wav was playing up), oggenc to encode, and the very friendlyGrip for the frontend. I highly recommend Grip, whatever else you use for the actual back end stuff.

    Basically, I was feeling too slack to find out why cdda2wav was giving me grief, so I had a quick squiz thru' /usr/ports/audio, installed dagrab, and was up and ripping within 5 minutes.
    God, I love ports.

  2. use rippit.pl! by Bigbambo · · Score: 3, Insightful

    In ports there is this little perl script called rippit.pl. It glues together a cdripper, and encoder and a cdda program. You can even chose which ripper/encoder you want to use. I do tosha and lame.
