Whipper is a Python 3 command-line CD-DA ripper forked from morituri that prioritizes ripping accuracy over speed. It detects drive read offsets, performs Test & Copy rips, verifies results, and outputs to formats like FLAC.
Use cases
- rip audio CDs to FLAC accurately
- digitize a CD collection with verified error-free rips
- detect my CD drive's read offset
- defeat the drive cache when ripping CDs
- check whether a disc is a CD-R
- command-line CD ripping on Linux
When to choose
- you need accurate, verified CD rips rather than fast ones
- you want a scriptable CLI ripper on Linux
- you want a maintained successor to morituri
When to avoid
- you need a GUI ripper
- you rip DVDs or Blu-rays rather than audio CDs
- you need Windows or macOS support
