Running on Linux Mint (July 2025).I am very happy with this app. Pretty intuitive application that suits my needs. It has tons of options for the final final to be stored. Also, loving that fact that it can rip CD's too. And yes, I still have CD's with me. Congrats to the author.
Ich bewerte hier die AppImage-Version von freac.org in Linux Mint 19.3: Top-Programm! Und im Gegensatz zum Flatpak nicht so gross (nur 19,2 MB). Ergebnisdateien entsprechen sample-genau dem Original. Viele Einstellmöglichkeiten für das Programm und die Encoder vorhanden. Ich bin begeistert!
In Tricia (19.3) works agley with WavePack *.cue... Same as AppImage version from https://www.freac.org/downloads-mainmenu-33. Never finish the queue sucsessfully, consumes hours of proc.time, occupies gigabytes of disk space. Removed.
Works fine in Linux Mint 20 Ulyana at least it installs and finds the CD and appears to be ripping okay! ...... I have tried a few of these and while most work fine Fre:ac is the only one that seems to find a useful database of tracks.
