I spent lot of time doing my research and this is the best app for ripping CDs you can get for Linux/BSD.
Not wanting to spend hours memorizing how to use ffmpeg on the command-line, I came to this site to find an alternative which worked on Ubuntu Linux. I downloaded this with a simple 'sudo apt-get install soundkonverter', but of course Software Centre or Synaptic would have worked just a well. On first look, it's a bit bland, but it only takes a few seconds to realize exactly what you have to do as the user interface is really intuitive and even the advanced functions are obvious and easy to use. Converting my FLACs to ALACs for iTunes took only a few seconds for each track, but I've tried other formats as well and the settings and speed for each one are all good. I've yet to use the extract audio from video feature, but I have no doubt I will soon enough.
I would reccomend this app to everyone because it really does come in handy in a lot of situations.
For me this is the most amazing program I found when I started using Ubuntu. not only can it convert music/sound files. It can extract sound from a video file and save it as just the audio. So I can do mass batch conversions of all of my videos and have just the audio in the format I want. It also has mp3gain/replaygain which equalizes the audible volume of each track. I really like this program, I wish there was a windows version of this as well.
