Yes. Completely different now.

For simply ripping CDs, I've always had great success using abcde.
No frills, simple rip+transcode from WAV -> MP3/OGG/FLAC.

I haven't used abcde but your email made me want to learn about it which
resulted in finding the website here http://lly.org/~rcw/abcde/page/ indicating
it is no longer maintained. Also the links to download recent versions or
view recent updates via that website are broken. Is the website is accurate
and the package isn't actively maintained any more?

And for simply playing audio CDs, I like the cdtool package. It
uses the analog play method. For it to work, the cd or dvd drive
must support the "play" command, there must be an audio cable
running between the cd and the sound card, and the sound card driver
must support a CD column in alsamixer. (The CD column has a
separate volume control and is usually not subject to the master
volume control as well, since the CD control is analog and the
master volume control is digital.)

The advantages? Well, the CD is not "mounted" to Linux. There is
no data transfer across the bus from the CD drive to memory.
There is no digital data held in memory. There is no data transfer
across the bus from memory to the PCM device on the sound card.
The CD drive converts the digital data to an analog signal internally
and sends an analog signal to the sound card's CD input. The sound
card is simply functioning as an amplifier. As viewed by the
the host processor, the I/O bus, and host memory, nothing is happening.
It requires no computing resources, one the process is started.

If you insert an audio CD, and you have a desktop environment
running, such as GNOME or KDE, some audio application will
probably be automatically launched. Wait for it to start, then
close the window. Then type "cdplay" in a terminal window.
That's it. There are other commands included in the cdtool
package too, such as cdstop, cdeject, cdinfo, etc.
