abcde is a frontend to cdparanoia, wget, cd-discid, id3, and your favorite Ogg Vorbis (the default), MP3, FLAC, Ogg Speex, or MPP (Musepack) encoder. It grabs an entire CD and converts each track to the desired format, then comments or ID3-tags each file, all with one command. It supports multiple output in a single CD read, the creation of a single track from a CD, resume operation, CD concatenation, volume normalization, gapless encoding (with LAME), parallelization, SMP, proxies, customizable filename organization and munging, playlist generation, distributed encoding via distmp3, and more.

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.

Asunder is a graphical audio CD ripper and encoder for Linux. You can use it to save tracks from an audio CD as WAV, MP3, Ogg, FLAC, Opus, WavPack, Musepack, AAC, or Monkey's Audio files. It has CDDB support and can create M3U playlists. It's independent of any desktop environment. It can rip and encode at the same time. It aims to make CD ripping as quick and easy as possible.

X-CD-Roast is a program-package dedicated to easy CD creation under most
Unix-platforms. It combines command line tools like "cdrecord", "cdda2wav", and
"mkisofs" into a nice graphical user interface.

cdparanoia reads audio from the CDROM directly as data, with no analog step between, and writes the data to a file or pipe in WAV, AIFC or raw 16 bit linear PCM. Cdparanoia will read correct, rock-solid audio data from inexpensive drives prone to misalignment, frame jitter and loss of streaming during atomic reads. cdparanoia will also read and repair data from CDs that have been damaged in some way.

Cdrdao records audio/data CD-Rs in disk-at-once
(DAO) mode based on a textual description of the
CD contents (toc-file). Features include full
control over length and contents of pre-gaps
(pause areas between tracks). Pre-gaps may be
completely omitted, e.g. for dividing live
recordings into tracks. Control over sub-channel
data like catalog numbers, copy, pre-emphasis,
2-/4-channel flags, ISRC code, and index marks are
provided as well. GCDMaster is a Gnome GUI
front-end that lets you import MP3 and WAV files,
select track markers and cut/copy/paste audio
snippets before burning.

aTunes is a full-featured audio player and manager. It currently plays MP3, Ogg, wma, wav, FLAC, MP4, and radio streams allowing users to easily edit tags, organize music, and rip audio CDs.

XiX Music Player is a music player for MP3, Ogg, M4A, AAC, FLAC, APE, and OPUS files. It is easy to create and maintain your own playlists. There is an integrated lyric viewer that searches for the lyric of the song you are listening to. If the CD cover is found, it is also shown. You can also rip CD tracks to MP3 or FLAC. Listening to your favorite online radio stations is also possible. The focus is on having fast control of all your music.

TCVP is a modular and configurable audio and video player, transcoder, and streamer. Most popular file formats and codecs are supported. It
can be used from the command line or with a GUI. A flexible skin-based GUI is included, as well as a converter for XMMS/Winamp skins.

cdstatus checks for drive errors, outputs disc information (such as type and table of contents), and is capable of ripping full CDs, using configurable track ranges and retry counts. It handles cddb lookups and makes use of per-user .cdstatus configuration files. It usually produces identical output to cdparanoia with much faster execution. It features direct-to-lame MP3 encoding and Ogg Vorbis encoding, as well as twolame support.
