#3This is pretty cool, it's like a Python and *nix version of Exact Audio Copy (EAC) for Windows. I enjoy the ritual of perfectly ripping a CD. I can spend an hour or two scanning the artwork, verifying the track names, performing the rip, losslessly compressing (I prefer FLAC), generating .cue files, checksuming everything, then sitting down to experience the best possible digital copy of a physical item I can self produce.

#4I have a very old CD collection I hadn’t looked at in years that I recently started ripping. Happened upon a tool called cyanrip and it works perfectly for me. Automatically downloads the art too and everything. Anyway it checks all the boxes for me and I haven’t looked back.

#5I love how this software would have been legend in the 90s/00s but now you are just a weird audiophile nerd for messing around with physical CDs.

#8Discovering music in the pre-gap before track 1 was my childhood equivalent of discovering a magickal incantation. In a world before mass use of the Internet, those who knew many of these secrets were our High Priests and Priestesses. I love the ease with which modern music can spread around the world but I miss the opportunity for surprise and discovery.

Brings back similar memories for me as well :)
I guess it's great to have a *nix tool for the rare occasion of ripping a CD.
