I want to introduce two GNOME-Applications, which are either really new or just new for myself.

Sound-Juicer is a ripping tool for GNOME. It internalizes, that it is possible to do more with less. This nice philosphy leads to a wonderful program, which is easy to use, nice to see and quite functional. Alas, the config dialogue sucks a little bit. In the current version it isn’t possible to see, which codec is going to be used while ripping. You’re just able to specify a quality level. Should be enhanced a little bit.
Just for your information: sound-juicer doesn’t handly any copy protection. Or better said: I didn’t mentioned anything while ripping my CDs.
<a href=”/img/muine.png”><img src=”/img/muine_thumb.png” align=“left”></a><strong>Redefines The Term Of Musicplayer: Muine</strong>
Muine is a wonderful musicplayer with a phantastic new concept: it breaks with the crappy tradition of XMMS or Winamp.
The user isn’t sentenced with a unusable interface or a completely overloaded player but with a nice and clean application. You are able to select the music you want to listen per album or per track. Muine automatically tries to find the album image via Amazon, if it could not find any image it is also possible to specify it by taking an image in the album directory called <em>“cover.[png|jpeg|gif]”</em>.
The program is written in C# using Mono. The best media player I’ve ever seen (until now).
