Grip

Grip

Grip is a cd-player and cd-ripper for the Gnome desktop. It has the ripping capabilities of cdparanoia builtin, but can also use external rippers (such as cdda2wav).

It also provides an automated frontend for MP3 (and other audio format) encoders, letting you take a disc and transform it easily straight into MP3s. Internet disc lookups are supported for retrieving track information from disc database servers.

Grip works with DigitalDJ to provide a unified "computerized" version of your music collection.

Features:
Full-featured CD player with a small screen footprint in "condensed" mode
Database lookup/submission to share track information over the net
HTTP proxy support for those behind firewalls
Loop, shuffle, and playlist modes
Ripping of single, multiple, or partial tracks
Encoding of ripped .wav files into MP3 files (as well support for OGG and FLAC)
Simultaneous rip and encode
Support for multiple encode processes on SMP machines
Adding ID3v1/v2 tags to MP3 files
Cooperating with DigitalDJ, my SQL-based MP3 jukebox

Requirements:
To use Grip, you must have:
The Gnome2 desktop
POSIX thread support
a net connection (if you want to use internet disc lookups)
a CDROM drive (surprise, surprise)

OpenOffice 3

OpenOffice 3
Comprehensive free office suite


OpenOffice.org 3 is the leading open-source office software suite for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, databases and more. It is available in many languages and works on all common computers.

It stores all your data in an international open standard format and can also read and write files from other common office software packages.

It can be downloaded and used completely free of charge for any purpose.

OpenOffice.org 3 contains all the office software you need, in one single package. You don't have to worry which version to install: one installation program provides everything. The installation also includes features which some expensive rivals do not - for example, the ability to create .pdf files when you want to guarantee what the recipient sees on their computer.

There is also a growing range of extensions: additional features that any developer can provide. OpenOffice.org releases release software several times a year so you can take advantage of new features as quickly as possible.
