Screenshot About:
Grip is a CD player and CD ripper/MP3-encoder for the GNOME desktop. It has the ripping capabilities of cdparanoia built in, but can also use external rippers (such as cdda2wav). It also provides an automated frontend for MP3 encoders (presets for lame, bladeenc, l3enc, xingmp3enc, mp3encode, and gogo), letting you take a disc and transform it easily straight into MP3s. The Ogg Vorbis format is also supported. 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.

Release focus: Minor bugfixes

Changes:
A fix was made to allow compilation against the new kernel threading implementation. The French translation was updated.

[»] Great package
by Tristan Miller - Jan 11th 2004 07:32:23

I use Grip for all my CD ripping; it's excellent. However, it would be nice if the developers would fix some of the long-standing bugs (i.e., several years old), such as the fact that the encoder command-line settings are not preserved; they're reset to hard-coded defaults whenever the encoder is changed. Even so these problems aren't enough to stop me from recommending the program to others.

Grip is an excellent, industrial strength tool that I would recommend to anyone looking to encode mp3s in a GUI environment. Fine job!

It's quality software like this that will make Linux et al acceptable with ordinary punters. Not only does it look great, it does exactly what you want from a ripper and is so easy to use. Everything about it is so rightous! This is what they want!

    Grip is definitely easy to use and works ten times better than any windows app. Regards,

For the past 12 months I have been trying various MP3 GUI encoders. All of them have been substandard to varying degrees ... until now! Grip is easy to install, easy to use, and looks great. Highly recommended!

I've been looking around for a mp3 ripper/encoder that has all of the features i like, and actually WORKS.

Grip kicks ass. i highly recommend it.

Grip works fine, and has a very nice and easy GUI to
rip, encode and very nice cddb functions.

It's a must for everybody who likes to convert his cds or wav files to mp3 .... :-)

    No-no-no-no-no, better drop MP3 format on the floor. That plain.

    Ogg Vorbis is *far* superior -- so don't make yourself weep in a year over those ugly mp3s when you could've done that as .ogg. I personally had to find those CDs again and redo my exercises :-)

      Of 'course grip can also do ogg vorbis. The only reason that I don't use it yet, is that my hardware-mp3 player can't do ogg.

[»] Nice GUI.
by Mohammad Bahathir Hashim - Apr 1st 2000 11:05:52

Nice GUI frontend for CD ripper (cdparanoia) and MP3 encoder (lame).
We can do it also on CLI using below 1 line command, and we can rip+encode CD very easy.
cdparanoia 1 - | lame --preset cd - track1.mp3
Means: cdparanoia rip CD's track 1 and pipe it to stdout, catched by lame and encode it to file track1.mp3 with CD quality preset options setting (44.1 kHz sample rate, 192 kHz bit rate).
Anyway, grip is very promising program and have alot of potential too.

I think I looked at every mp3 ripper front end for Linux, and this one seems to be the best. Being able to rip and encode simultaneously is a big win, especially on a multiprocessor system like I have.

    [»] Faster than Reboot
    by Lispy - Dec 12th 2002 11:21:56

    I wanted to rip a cd and was wondering if i wanted to reboot into win2k for that job. It took me about 1,5 mins to grap the Slackware Pkg over at linuxpackages.net, install it, start it and make my fav settings. It turned out to be faster than a reboot. This is really the ripper you want. cu, Lispy

[»] Works great...
by Concord - Jan 9th 2000 09:34:37

Compiled from source with built-in support for cdparanoia on the rip side and used bladeenc on the encoder side. Does a very excellent job of ripping and encoding at the same time. Easy to use interface.

I definately recommend this for any MP3 enthusiast!

    Well, I just downloaded the src.rpm and tried to
    recompile it here under RH 7.1. Had a small problem
    in that the recompile would bomb trying to locate the
    man pages. I verified that the man pages ARE there
    in the build directory, however, RPM wasn't seeing
    them because they are gzipped and RPM isn't
    looking for the *.gz file. So I changed the spec file
    and Voila'! it works! :-) Anyway, I've sent a "fixed"
    spec file to the author. Maybe he'll release a new
    version of the SRC.RPM. :-)

    Bladeenc definitely looses to LAME. And both loose to oggenc, even when LAME is top-quality MP3 encoder.

      ogg requires more CPU to decode, besides that ogg rules. Ive not used the ID3 information in ogg yet. Still have that to learn.

      Ill say this though. I would have prefered the author to use %t_%n as the default output format, and perhaps a different extension for OGG, XMMS went crazy playin a .ogg as .mp3! Not a big deal but would make the package a little tidier. It all compiled find from sources.
