This is not true. Grip is only a frontend and it all depends on the program that you use for ripping. Set it to use cdparanoia (which is considered to be the best ripping program on *any* platform) and you should be OK.

True, I stand corrected. I still is a nice little package. And yes It's set to use cdparanoia. But I still find the quality of the .wav files lacking a tad. Or it could be the new kernel 1(0) stuff. I find that if I use some of the sound/multimedia stuff it gets very laggy and won't sometimes let go even after shutting the program down. I found this out by going into top and see the multiprograms still running. I am, to be honest, a little frustrated with the latest sound code and configs in 8.2. I chalk it up to interim devel cycle, e.g. alsa, threading, i/o, etc in the 2.5/6 kernel and some of it being implemented in the 2.4.x kernels. I have been playing around a bit but think a do some shakedowns and see if I can find anything worthwhile and repeatable to give to the devs. Cheers, Curtis. :)
