CLI Ripping (was Blu-Ray and Linux)

[Antony Gelberg]

I'm not such a GUI user, but for rarely performed tasks like these, it
makes sense.

For CDs, I use asunder which is a GUI tool, to rip to flac.  I then use
Picard to get the tags correct (MusicBrainz is a wonderful service).

For ripping DVDs, I use dvd::rip with great success.

Hope this helps.  :)
