If one believes Debian, grip's unsupported upstream. asunder is the replacement, apparently. asunder seems OK, though I preferred grip for its interface (speed is identical, as far as I can tell).

Because I want to rid myself of MS and this is one of the achille's heels of Linux (IMHO) that I'd like to overcome.

Why does it need to be a GUI? I use abcde (which is a front-end to lame). Just fire up a terminal and let it go. I can't see what a GUI would offer here. Although I do use a GUI (easytag) to fix up any of the tags I wish to change later (abcde will query cddb to get them as it runs anyway). -- Just because I've written it doesn't mean that either you or I have to believe it. |
