CDs are cool again. Here’s how to rip them

  The newsworthy thing here is that I was amazed to find this in Popular Science. Weren’t CDs killed by streaming media?

  They're not cool again. But it's a good reminder to some (many?) that they might have a collection of music they've forgotten to recode to MP3 or OGG. Just remember that an OGG of an MP3 is still MP3 quality. It doesn't work uphill. It can't add what wasn't there in the source material. OGG can give you a pretty good feel for what it was like for the team that produced the music, as long as the source material is at that level.

  On Linux, well Ubuntu in my case, ripping seem to have more friction than I was ready for last time I tried with my external drive.

  EAC and a good CD drive. Get that super accurate rip.
