    Ripping audioCD to wav with music brainz db - how?

    Since few hours i'm looking for a program which will let me to rip music to wav format and use music brainz db to gather info about tracks on disc and what is very disappointing i'm unable to find one. If some program supports music brainz database then turns out it doesn't rip CDs at all or it doesn't rip to wav.

    I know i could rip to flac but i do not want to, i want lossless wav.

    I'm using ubuntu-mate 16.10 but i think this makes no difference.

    There is no real linux app that will rip to wav & tag. You could use windows or maybe thru wine -
    Use EAC(Exact Audio Copy) to rip the entire CD to one large wav file and then build a cue sheet with Vorbis style comments for the tagging information.
    Or use dBpoweramp

    yes spectator what mc said and this is what you have to do to install EAC on Ubuntu and it works PERFECTly

    Also flac is lossless you say lossless wav but really wav is uncompressed flac ape alac are lossless and contain all the info which is in wav; and that is the meaning of the word lossless nothing is lost
    as opposed to lossy [mp3 m4a etc]



    PS but definitely dBpoweramp much better [you have it free for 21 days]

    and you get this from a wav [which they call Wave in their encoders]
