Default CD ripper Make Rhythmbox as good as iTunes for CD import
My last CD-ripping experience went like this: Insert CD 1. Rip CD 1.
Insert CD 2. Rip CD 2. Insert CD 3. Rip CD 3. ... Rip CD 6. Plug in MP3
player. Open the Music folder in Nautilus. Select the files to
copy---GOD DAMN YOU RHYTHMBOX! WHY THE $@!^#@$%^#$% DID YOU OUTPUT .OGGs
WITHOUT TELLING ME!?!... Insert CD 1. Re-rip CD 1...
I'm pretty sure the CD ripping experience before that went pretty much
the same way.
That said, this experience *is* actually "as good as iTunes" if you
don't have an iPod, since iTunes rips to AAC by default without warning you.

Having ogg be default is fine IMHO, but it would be great to add more
options to the rip preferences. For example, I still prefer ripping to wav
and then using an audio converter to convert to FLAC since there's no way
for me to set the flac compression level (or I missed it).
In the case of lossy codecs, I think a simple drop-down selection for
bitrate and checkbutton for CBR/VBR would make a lot of people happy.
