VideoLAN

Note: This software does not contain a CD burner

VLC media player is a free software media player by the VideoLAN project.

It is a highly portable multimedia player, encoder, and streamer supporting many audio and video codecs and file formats as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols. It is able to stream over networks and to transcode multimedia files and save them into various different formats. VLC used to stand for “VideoLan Client”, but that meaning is deprecated.

It is one of the most platform-independent players available, with versions for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, BeOS, BSD, Windows CE, Linux, and Solaris, and is widely used with over 40 million downloads for version 0.8.6.

VLC uses a large number of free decoding and encoding libraries. Many of its codecs are provided by the libavcodec codec library from the FFmpeg project, but it uses mainly its own muxer and demuxers. It also gained distinction as the first player to support playback of encrypted DVDs on Linux by using the libdvdcss DVD decryption library.

Grip

Grip is a cd-player and cd-ripper for the Gnome desktop. It has the ripping capabilities of cdparanoia builtin, but can also use external rippers (such as cdda2wav). It also provides an automated frontend for MP3 (and other audio format) encoders, letting you take a disc and transform it easily straight into MP3s. Internet disc lookups are supported for retrieving track information from disc database servers.Grip works with DigitalDJ to provide a unified “computerized” version of your music collection.

Features
- Full-featured CD player with a small screen footprint in “condensed” mode
- Database lookup/submission to share track information over the net
- HTTP proxy support for those behind firewalls
- Loop, shuffle, and playlist modes
- Ripping of single, multiple, or partial tracks
- Encoding of ripped .wav files into MP3 files (as well support for OGG and FLAC)
- Simultaneous rip and encode
- Support for multiple encode processes on SMP machines
- Adding ID3v1/v2 tags to MP3 files
- Cooperating with DigitalDJ, my SQL-based MP3 jukebox

RipperX

RipperX is a GTK program to rip CD audio tracks and encode them to the Ogg, MP3, or FLAC formats. It is easy, requiring a few mouse clicks to convert an entire album, displaying progress along the way. It can rip and encode in parallel, and supports CDD

K3b

K3b was created to be a feature-rich and easy to handle CD burning application. It consists of basicly three parts:
- The projects: Projects are created from the file menu and then filled with data to burn.
- The Tools: The tools menu offers different tools like CD copy or DVD formatting.
- Context sensitive media actions: When clicking on the Icon representing a CD/DVD drive K3b will present it’s contents and allow some further action. This is for example the way to rip audio CDs.

Features:

Creating Audio CD’s:

- Pluggable audio decoding. Plugins for WAV, MP3, FLAC, and Ogg Vorbis are included.
- CD-TEXT support. Will automagically be filled in from tags in audio files.
- Write audio cds on-the-fly without decoding audio files to wav before.
- Normalize volume levels before writing.
- Cut audio tracks at the beginning and the end.

CD copy:

- Copy single and multi session data CDs
- Copy Audio CDs
- Copy Enhanced Audio CDs (CD-Extra)
- Copy CD-Text
- Add CD-Text from cddb
- CD Cloning mode for perfect single session CD

CD Ripping:

- CDDB support via http, cddbp and local cddb directory.
- Sophisticated pattern system to automatically organize the ripped tracks in directories and name them according to album, title, artist, and track number.
- CD-TEXT reading. May be used instead of CDDB info.
- K3b stores CDDB info of the ripped tracks which will automatically be used as CD-TEXT when adding the ripped files to an audio project.
- Plugin system to allow encoding to virtually every audio format. Plugins to encode to Ogg Vorbis, Mp3, FLAC, and all formats supported by SoX

Xmcd

Xmcd is a full-featured CD Player and Ripper software package. It includes two programs:

xmcd - for the X window system using the Motif® graphical user interface
cda - a shell command-line utility which also features a curses-based, screen-oriented mode
Both utilities transform your computer’s CD or DVD drive into a stereo CD player, allowing you to play music CDs on your computer. Moreover, they also work as a CD ripper which allows you to extract full-quality digital audio data from your CDs and play them real time, save them to files or pipe them to other utilities for processing. Many file formats are supported, including WAV, AU, AIFF, MP3, AAC, MP4, Ogg Vorbis and FLAC.

Xmcd is designed to be attractive, feature-rich yet intuitive to use, and takes advantage of many CD drive capabilities that are not accessible via other software. Unlike other general media players that tries to do it all, xmcd focuses on the CD, and strives to be the best with this medium.

Xmcd supports CD recognition via Gracenote CDDB®. It can connect to the CDDB servers on the Internet to get the artist, disc title, song titles and other information about the CD you’re playing. Xmcd uses the enhanced CDDB² service on some platforms to provide even richer content. The CDDB concept, originally pioneered for xmcd, is now the de facto standard source for online music information. Xmcd works with many firewall proxy configurations for CDDB server access. Moreover, xmcd supports CD-TEXT on drives that has this capability.

Xmcd contains “wwwWarp”, a portal to the web browser that offers search and dynamic content capabilities based on the CD you’re listening to. “Local Discography” is a sub-feature of wwwWarp, and provides a browser-based means of navigating and maintaining your CD collection, sound files, and other related data. There is also a feature-specific help and documentation system, command-line control, remote control, plus much more!
