I've been looking and dreaming of a cd ripping/burning utility that is comfortable in the gnome environment since I left Windows over a year ago. I used to use EAC to rip and encode losslessly compressed images and cuesheets, and Burrrn to burn them back to exact duplicates. It was beautiful, and I never had to worry if a cd got damaged, because I always had a perfect copy archived. Now, in linux, I can't find any acceptable alternatives.
I would even be willing to compromise on the secure part; a good cdparanoia ripper would give accurate enough results for me, without the secure guarantee that EAC offered. But, I do need a system that allow me to maintain all the gaps between and before tracks though, hence the use of images and cuesheets. Ideally, I would like to be able to encode the cd images to flac, and then embed the cuesheet in it, and then at a later time, be able to decode and rip it easily.
Please feel free to suggest ideas of methods or applications I could use, or even other places I could make requests. Thanks.
