What linux program do you use to rip CDs (just audio)

chagall@lemmy.world to Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com – 122 points –

I tried fre:ac but got an error from cddb when trying to connect to the database. Looking to rip to both FLAC and to Opus. Ideally with the latest codec updates.

Any recommendations?

The only issue I can see with abcde is that it hasn't been updated since 2019. Both FLAC and Opus have had updates as recent as 2023.

abcde uses whatever current codecs you have installed, it doesn’t do any of its own encoding
