Title: How to rip audio CDs in JRiver 27.0.15 for Linux
Post by: rustybutton on September 26, 2020, 08:18:41 pm

There are no good rippers for Linux.  One of the main reasons I paid for a new JRiver license was to have something that would rip my CDs.  But I don't see where to launch the CD ripper.  The doc says to do it in the action window, but the action window I have doesn't have a ripper action. 

Is there something missing from this build?   I've seen mention of ripping in earlier revs of JRiver for Linux.

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 on an HP i7 laptop with 8 GB memory and 400G free drive space.

Have the mentions you've seen been along the lines of "Where is it?"?

All that comment does is to suggest that you use the standard Linux CD rippers.  The problem there is that they don't read the contents from the CD or seem to be able to access any of the CDDB databases out there.  The old freecddb site is long gone and I sure can't find any URL that any of the Linux rippers can access.

I'm not keen on having to type in all of the track names, etc, etc, as well as install the cover graphic for every CD I want to rip.   Which is why I dropped for a new JRiver license. 

I knew i'd regret this.

CD ripping isn't supported in JRiver Media Center for Linux yet.

Which linux rippers have you tried? Gnome's sound juicer still pulls metadata for me, I think it pulls it from musicbrainz.
