I tried fre:ac but got an error from cddb when trying to connect to the database. Looking to rip to both FLAC and to Opus. Ideally with the latest codec updates.

Any recommendations?

    Way back when, I think I was using WinAmp (on XP) and then k3b (when I moved to Linux) to rip and burn cds, but I don’t recall hearing anything about k3b in a couple of years. As for something more recent, I’m afraid I’ve been running Windows lately so I don’t know what available in Linux land.

    If you’ve got wine installed you might give Exact Audio Copy a try. It’s what I’ve been using since I started ripping cds again. I don’t know if it work in wine however. I didn’t have any luck ripping cds with WinAmp when I tried recently, though surprisingly, it does still run in Windows 11.
