[Resolved] Looking for recommendations -- CD Ripper (lemm.ee)

Hey hey, I have been using Sound Juicer on my Ubuntu 24 / KDE 5 PC and it works, but it doesn't handle the tags for my MP3 files very nicely. I've also used abcde, at the terminal, and that can be better but it takes a lot finessing at the CLI to get the result I want.

Is there a better CD ripper application that will run on Ubuntu and can make setting the MP3 tags dead simple?

Thanks for any ideas!

Edit: Fixed a typo

ETA: Asunder looks good, does what I need and works well on my PC. Thanks for everyone's ideas and help!

I use EAC but no idea if it's available for Linux... I think it's open source so seems like it should be, but can't be arsed to Google it right now...

Looks like Windows only.

A redditor replied 'abcde worked well for me last time I needed to rip a cd' eight months ago.

Another replied

'Thank you! I didn't knew if you were joking about the name, but it's a real package that stands for "A Better CD Encoder" 😂 I'll be sure to check it out!!!'

Google says 'Exact Audio Copy is proprietary freeware, free for non-commercial use. It is written for Microsoft Windows. It has also been tested to work under newer versions of Wine on Linux. EAC is used to convert the tracks on standard audio CDs to WAV files, which can then be transcoded into other formats.'
