Description

Grip is a gtk-based cd-player and cd-ripper. It has the ripping capabilities of []cdparanoia http://www.xiph.org/paranoia/index.html builtin, but can also use external rippers (such as []cdda2wav). It ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/cdda2wav/ also provides an automated frontend for MP3 encoders, letting you take a disc and transform it easily straight into MP3s. The CDDB protocol is supported for retrieving track information from disc database servers. Grip works with []DigitalDJ to provide a unified http://nostatic.org/ddj/ddj.html "computerized" version of your music collection. GCD is the cd-player only version of Grip (for those who aren't interested in *track ripping/encoding).
