flac dev - Sep 2004 - best way to ensure integrity of flac source files?

if there was a flac-users list i'd be asking these questions there, but 
anyway =)

on windows, i've been using eac in secure mode and using "test &
copy" to
verify that the crc checksums match. invariably, i'll get one or two 
mismatches per album i rip, so i figure the checksum verification is a good 
thing despite the extra time. once i rip a cd, i want to forget about it and 
tuck it away in a closet, assured that my flac version is every bit as good 
as the original.

what's the equivalent tool (and any options) for producing a perfect quality
audio cd rip on linux?

and i promise i'll collate these answers into a document for the future 
benefit of flac-users everywhere =)

thanks!

eddie

look into cdparanoia for ripping; it's a command-line tool.
it's missing a few thing that EAC has that can really give
you an exact copy of a whole CD (like read offset compensation,
pregap detection).  grip is a ripper front end that uses
cdparanoia.
