Grip is a CD player and CD ripper/MP3-encoder for
the GNOME desktop. It has the ripping capabilities
of cdparanoia built in, but can also use external
rippers (such as cdda2wav). It also provides an
automated frontend for MP3 encoders (presets for
lame, bladeenc, l3enc, xingmp3enc, mp3encode, and
gogo), letting you take a disc and transform it
easily straight into MP3s. The Ogg Vorbis format
is also supported. Internet disc lookups are
supported for retrieving track information from
disc database servers. Grip works with DigitalDJ
to provide a unified, "computerized" version of
your music collection.
