Which cd ripping program does CDDB look ups


Hello,

I have some CDs I want to rip. I want a program that will rip to mp3 as well as get artist, title, album information from a online CDDB and write that information into the mp3 tags.

Thank you

I'm currently using Asunder though I have used grip in the past and it worked fine for me also.
You never said which desktop environment, if any, you are using -- if you're using KDE then KAudioCreator seems decent enough also.
If for some reason the ability to rip to mp3 is missing (I really can't recall how common that is nowadays) you may also need to install support for that.

I use abcde. It does MP3, OGG and retrieves info from freedb (a free CDDB) and tags the resulting files. It even lets you edit the info before tagging.

Hello,

Since asunder is the most recommend app here. I will try that first. I will also try the others as well and to compare ease of use, ripping and etc.

I greatly appreciate the feedback

PS: I am using KDE.

It's certainly a good idea to try a few programs to begin with -- you may find one fits in with the way you do things better.

Morituri uses the MusicBrainz database, not cddb. That should do the job too.

Thanks, I can't say I need a command-line ripper on a regular basis but I'm just playing with Morituri, which I hadn't heard of, now and I can see it being a handy tool to have.

As I mentioned, KAudioCreator has worked for me in the past and will be better integrated with your DE. Thinking about it I don't think a seperate program is required at all under KDE -- can't you just copy across the dummy mp3 files that the file manager shows you for the CD device when it's plugged in? I don't know how good or bad the tagging for that is though.

By a strange coincident I just received a CD I purchased and, for whatever reason*, Asunder couldn't find information from CDDB so, recalling this thread, I fired up Morituri and am now ripping the CD, correct tags (so far) and all.

*Could be that nobody has ripped it yet as it's fairly new, not a band that's all that mainstream and is available for mp3 download for the youngsters.
