It has been a little while since LWN last surveyed tools for managing a digital music collection. In the intervening decades, many Linux users have moved on to music streaming services, found them wanting, and are looking to curate their own
collection once again. There are plenty of choices when it comes to
ripping, managing, and playing digital audio; so many, in fact, that it can be a
bit daunting. After years of tinkering, I've found a few tools that work well for
managing my digital library: the first I'd like to cover is the fre:ac free audio encoder for ripping music from
CDs and converting between audio formats.
