Question for anyone who uses Linux --- Which software do you use to rip Audio CDs?
.
I have installed JRiver MC26, and it works well for tagging & playing music files - but it is missing the ability to detect and read CD drives on Linux. It's apparently still on the developer's to-do list.
.
Thanks for any insight on getting my CDs ripped.

Which windows manager are you using? I prefer K3b for KDE and sound juicier for gnome. K3b is my favorite. You will have to install quite a few packages if you are not using KDE, bit it's worth the foot print IMO.

Hey Jerick and guys, what free anti virus and firewall programs do you recommend?

I used to be big into trying all the available programs but don't bother anymore when using Windows 10 as it has a decent anti virus but not so sure about the firewall aspect. I used to keep an eye on AV-Test results but have not in the last few years.

For antivirus, I really like Kaspersky. I've used it for years.

Earlier this week the UV light for sterilizing arrived. Tom had mentioned it the day before he died... wondering where it was. I have not opened it yet and have no idea how to use it.

This arrived from China today for him I have no idea what it is. One of you has to know. Or, maybe I am the only one who does not.

Looks like a bit like a power bank

I found Avast and AVG bogged everything down. My start up improved 95% getting them off the C drive (AVG is particularly stubborn to remove). Now I'm using Comodo. Even when it does a complete scan (you have no idea who many attached drives I have) everything is smooth.

Cloud AV is the future of computer security. Another promising AV is next gen computer security like Carbon Black.

When on Linux, I’ve always used LAME. Here s a link to various applications that use LAME segregated by OS type.

That’s a decrapifier or a universal bus type thingy I think

I've installed Kubuntu 19.10, so I am using KDE Plasma 5.
I knew K3b was a CD/DVD burner (from when I ran SuSE Linux, years ago), but don't think I've tried it for ripping CDs.
Currently at work, and can't remember any more details.
.
Thanks for the recommendation - I'll give it a try this evening.

Thanks - I've used LAME in the past, but my current project is archiving my CDs as .flac files.
