Grip (software)
Grip is a free CD player and CD ripper. The software is rather similar to Audiograbber on Windows - without sound card capture feature; it is fast, lightweight, and easy to compile. Grip uses a selection of encoders, including cdparanoia. History
The original author, Mike Oliphant, originally registered Grip as a project at SourceForge.net, the free and open-source software website, on March 17, 2000, and made pre-compiled binaries for RPM Linux distributions available. However, by mid-2005 development had stalled, and while the software was still very much usable, in effect it languished without a maintainer. In late 2016, a new maintainer, Johnny Solbu, stepped up by forking the project into "Grip 2" based on version 3.3.1 of the original. In April 2017, he gained access to the original project page and stated on the forked project page his intention on moving development back to the old project, and released v3.3.5. Features
