UNIX & Linux Rippers
Grip Unix/Linux
Grip is a GTK-based front-end for CD players and rippers. It can function as both an internal and external ripper, and works well with such notable programs as cdda2wav and cdparanoia. It can help within the editing arena because it allows you to rip entire tracks, or just an isolated section. Additionally, Grip can stand alone as an MP3 player and can even support CDDB.
