What is gCDrip?

gCDrip is a CD ripping and encoding interface for Gtk+. It relies on cdparanoia for ripping, lame for encoding, and id3 for ID3-tagging.

gCDrip is also a comprehensive Gtk-Perl example.

gCDrip is designed to run on Linux boxes, but it will run on any box with cdparanoia, lame, id3 and Gtk-Perl installed.

gCDrip is free software, released under the GNU General Public License.
