  1. whipper

    Python CD-DA ripper preferring accuracy over speed

    Packages are available for just about any distro in the next heading. Source is available as well (obviously).

    Still not a single binary but as you note with it being written in python and based on cdparanoia, etc how would that work?

    It's based on python with relatively obscure requirements[0] that also calls out to system binaries. Looking at the Dockerfile[1] it is built with specific revs of component software to work around various issues. Take a look at the build docs and you'll see just how many existing projects (python and otherwise) it takes to deliver the end result.

    IMO Docker is one of the "best" and most straightforward ways to package up all of this with the end result (as usual) putting any Linux user two commands away from ripping a disc.

  4. picard

    A cross-platform music tagger powered by the MusicBrainz database. Picard organizes your music collection by updating your tags, renaming your files, and sorting them into a folder structure, exactly the way you want it.

  5. beets

    music library manager and MusicBrainz tagger

  6. ripit

    Discontinued Command line audio CD ripper [latest released version]

    This utility used to work wonders, too. Should still work despite what looks like the author moving on: https://github.com/blabber/ripit

  7. cmus

    Small, fast and powerful console music player for Unix-like operating systems.

    cmus [1] is the closest I found to foobar2000. It is my main music player now, after years of disappointment. It supports FLAC and they claim they support CUE sheets, although I haven't tested your particular scenario. The way I use it is I have all my library in it at once, iTunes style. It has good search & playlists, but no drag&drop, since it's just command line...
