ripperX is an open source graphical interface for ripping CD audio tracks and encoding them to Ogg, MP2, MP3, or FLAC formats. It’s goal is to be easy to use, requiring only a few mouse clicks to convert an entire album. It supports CDDB lookups for album and track information.
It uses cdparanoia to convert (i.e. “rip”) CD audio tracks to WAV files, and then calls the Vorbis/Ogg encoder oggenc to convert the WAV to an OGG file.
It can also call flac to perform lossless compression on the WAV file, resulting in a FLAC file.
Key Features

- Rip audio CD tracks into WAV, MP3, OGG, or FLAC files.
