I see that we don’t have either KAudioCreator nor Grip in openSUSE 11.4? Why not? What cd-ripping tool is supported now?
Use k3b
Be sure you have run the multimedia
Multimedia in One Click
And have k3b-codecs

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/multimedia:/apps/openSUSE_11.4
kaudiocreator is only available in home repositories from some users

Ran into the same thing the other day. I loaded asounder (asunder?)
instead of grip. Worked fine but grip has more options/flexibility.

Try →soundKonverter - it’s rather a converter (hence the name) but handles CDs as well. It has tons of options to finetune the rip, but also offers a different interface (via tabs) that shows only the most important ones. The maintainer HessiJames has his own SuSE-repo:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/HessiJames/openSUSE_11.4/
…also available for Tumbleweed and Factory.
I’m using jRipper from “main_pm / openSUSE_11.2 http://packman.links2linux.de”
Works ok in openSUSE11.4 + Tumbleweed.
You can download grip and build it yourself. Go to Grip | Free Audio & Video software downloads at SourceForge.net and click on Files->grip->3.3.1 to get the latest (circa 2005) source.
tar xvfz grip-3.3.1.tar.gz
cd grip-3.3.1
./configure
make
sudo make install
and you should be all set, assuming you have all your multimedia ducks in a row. If configure complains about missing libraries or tools such as lame and cdparanoia, run YaST and try to install them. You may need the Packman repository for some of them.
You may even be able to simply install the rpm off of Sourceforge.
I love grip and it’s all set up the way I like it, with easy editing of titles, paths to my music folder, etc. Change is good… but when something works, why break it?
Maybe because grip hasn’t been maintained upstream for seven years? There are other CD rippers with active project teams. Eventually, you have to move on.

Well, that’s true. But grip doesn’t do the actual job itself, it calls
others to do the work. Lame, for example, is maintained.

Audex - native QT4 cd ripper. It is in the packman repo iirc. Probably not as full-featured as grip though.

I saw an answer in the mail list about grip:
+++···············
At least grip was dropped like xmms because they needed the old gnome
1 libs and we got rid of packages that did so because with the move to
gnome2 we didn’t want two sets of space consuming libraries.
···············+±
and another post:
+++···············
As an alternate, I found - asunder - it’s very close. Is there even a
better one ?
···············+±
packman has it. It has much fewer options than grip, though. It is not that
close to grip, IMO. It doesn’t say who does the encoding. For mp3 I can
only choose the bit rate.

Anybody mentioned k3B yet? Has great audio conversion options. Not just from CD, also from file->file

Clementine too, at least file to file.
