How to Rip CDs From the Linux Command Line - LinuxConfig.org

There are a few options for ripping your CDs from the command line, but abcde is easily the most widely available and one of the easiest to work with. You can use it for simple one off rips, or you can configure it to your exact specifications for every use.

I just use Sound Juicer to rip CD’s, which has a GUI and seems a lot easier than the command line.

This command is great for ease of use for any number of CDs, but gets significantly more valuable with more CDs to rip. I don’t know why I didn’t discover this earlier!
