I'm not such a GUI user, but for rarely performed tasks like these, it makes sense.
For CDs, I use asunder which is a GUI tool, to rip to flac. I then use Picard to get the tags correct (MusicBrainz is a wonderful service). For ripping DVDs, I use dvd::rip with great success. Hope this helps. :) On Wed, Jul 3, 2013 at 1:20 PM, Nadav Har'El <[email protected]>wrote: > On Wed, Jul 03, 2013, vordoo wrote about "CLI Ripping (was Blu-Ray and > Linux)": > > type="cite"> I also ripped all the "legally-bought" > > CDs and DVDs I had at home (almost a 1000 of them, altogether) and > > now all > > of it is on the hard disk as well.<br> > > > I should be doing that too.
