CD to flac recommendations?
Hi guys,
Anyone old like me who still likes to buy music CDs, but young enough where I want to rip perfect flac files from them? My tool of choice has been exact audio copy for like, ever.
I realized this weekend it’s the only windows software left that I still boot into windows for. Used to be the odd game here and there that didn’t work in linux, but even that has stopped.
Anyways - I’m looking for all the bells and whistles. It handles gaps correctly, can create cue sheets, does error correction, and ultimately allows me to make a 100% backup of a music CD (I can take a blank CD and make a perfect copy of the original). Anything in the AUR that does this? Anyone have success running EAC with proton/wine etc and can offer some tips? Thanks.

I stumbled upon cyanrip, which seemed to be the most complete and up-to-date cli utility, and it did not disappoint! Highly recommend!
Thanks I’ll check it out. I ended up running eac in bottles and it worked 100%. I guess I assumed (without any real reason) that EAC would have issues low level accessing the cdrom drive through wine - but that turned out to not be true at all. It just worked flawlessly, so I just keep doing what I like - EAC
But I am playing around with these alternatives-never know, I may like one of these better ;)
Thanks for the recommendation!
