So far my tests with the ripping function have everything working correctly. I ripped four CDs, and the CD lookup and actual ripping seem to work quite well. Direct playback does not work, but it sounds like that's expected. The only hiccup I encountered is that the secure rip report popup window was much too small to contain the info in it, and was small enough that it was slightly difficult to resize.
One other thing that surprised me is that the settings didn't default to secure ripping, which I think is the opposite of the Windows defaults, but maybe I'm misremembering? Obviously not a major issue, just asking to make sure.
If there are any areas that need special testing let me know, but so far so good.

Interesting. The rip report popup window was fine on mine. I'll check the settings.
Did your detect the changing of discs properly? I'm seem to have some issues with that.

That's interesting. When I was initially testing, I didn't see an issue, but I'm definitely seeing it right now. I had to close and reopen MC to get it to acknowledge the new disk, no amount of ejecting and refreshing seemed to get it to update the new disc. Not sure why it worked initially, but not now?
FWIW, I remember having a similar non-deterministic problem with CD ripping in MC for windows back in the day, and several other folks did too; it would sometimes get stuck on an album and refuse to update. It's been a few years, but here's a comparatively recent thread where folks are reporting the issue: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,126610.msg877952.html. The trick that usually worked for me on windows was clicking the "update from online database" button a few times to get MC to recognize the new disc, but that isn't working with the current Linux builds (not sure if that button is even connected to anything at the moment, there's no feedback when pressing it).
It may not be related, but I wanted to throw that out in case it's a general issue masquerading as a Linux-specific one, if that makes sense?

Any ETA for this to work for Ubuntu?
Awesome Donkey:
It should already work for Ubuntu, as long as you're using this amd64 beta build. However, it won't work if you're using 32-bit or ARM builds.
