  • whipper

    Python CD-DA ripper preferring accuracy over speed

  • If you care about accurate rips on Linux, the best tool to use is whipper: https://github.com/whipper-team/whipper. It makes use of the AccurateRip database, which is used to calculate the statistics. I don't know about any other native Linux application that makes use of it. Other tools like cdparanoia, and all the wrappers around it, just attempt to read it multiple times and still get the wrong result, as the post shows.

  • bandcamp-collection-downloader

    A command-line tool to automatically download all releases purchased with a Bandcamp account. The official page of the project is https://framagit.org/Ezwen/bandcamp-collection-downloader, while here this is just a mirror hosted on Github.

  • I use this[1] for making sure I have everything I've purchased from Bandcamp downloaded to my NAS. Even made a bash alias to wrap it so I just type `bandcamp` after I've purchased something and it downloads and sorts it immediately.

  • cyanrip

    Bule-ish CD ripper

  • I’ve been using CyanRip and it’s been working nicely. Has excellent defaults Eg just run cyanrip from cli with a CD in and it rips to flac in the current dir with the most sensible/reasonable defaults (at least it’s opinions have worked for me).
