@greengeek:
I've just perused peasydisc.
To be fair to abcde, one thing abcde does and peasydic doesn't is
rip in one step from cdda files on CD to wav and then to the OggVorbis
format, my preferred encoding, on disk, in quality steps up to 10.
Now peasydisc offers conversion to mp3. Period. You're not allowed to
choose a bit-rate. And in two separate steps, too, it seems: you first rip
from cdda to wav. Then, as I understand it, you have to re-use peasydisc
to convert the ripped wav files to the mp3 format, again, with no control
over the quality of the sound. Agreed, I'm a former musician and I'm
pretty fussy about sound quality, but a bit-rate scale for mp3 would be a
nice add-on to peasydisc.
As I suspected, rcrsn51 regroups in one interface all manner of cd/dvd-
related utilities present on all (?) Puppies. There's nothing wrong with
that, it's well done, and it was destined to be done by some experienced
Puppyist some day. It's handy to have a central command for cd and
dvd work.
Total disk occupation of cd-related files (only cd-related, not dvd- or BR-
related) in Puppy: almost 1.3Mb's, as evidenced in the following table.

So let's not hastily discard abcde because of its apparent size.
abcde has functions peasydisc does not have, and -- another thing that I
like about abcde -- it does not mess up your screen when finishing its job,
like asunder does. If the people at asunder find making your screen into
a pseudo-matrix display funny, to give a visual example of "asunder"
or of "ripping" or what not, I'm not laughing.
For more, I recently published a post on abcde's most recent version
here.
BFN.
