Hi Well, if you only want to rely on programs that come with RH, you have a few choices. cdda2wav is a program that can rip tracks into wav files. It, however, has no jitter or error correction. cdparanoia is another ripper that comes with rh, the one I use. It has error/jitter correction and works well on all cdrom drives that can extract digital audio, which most drives can. The only ones that can't do this are very old. Cdparanoia, too, rips tracks to wav files. As for abcd being a "debian application," this is not strictly true. It is a debian package, meaning it's been prepackaged for debian. But if you wanted to, you could locate its homepage (which I can't remember at the moment), grab the source, and compile it. You would then have it running on RH. Alternative, you can try searching on: http://rpmfind.net and see if someone has compiled an rpm for your system. Keep in mind that abcd is an interface to other programs, a front-end to a ripper and an encoder of your choice. HTH
