Laser - A simple CD ripping application

Hey everyone, after a bit of a break I am happy to announce that I’ve released Laser version 0.5.0!

These are the main changes:

New features:

  • Rip to binary or audio images with cue file
  • Introduced MP3 variable bitrate option
  • Introduced FLAC compression level option
  • New app icon! Thanks to gnoman and Jakub Steiner

Improvements:

  • Rip from mixed CDs
  • Added overall rip progress bar (thanks to tduarte)
  • Accessibility improvements
  • Reintroduced refresh button
  • Various bug fixes related to application state, for example not becoming reactivated after a rip error
  • Fixed translatable strings in Python code
  • Improved album art embedding in FLAC files

You can find the app on Flathub—it may take a while before the update is published and propagated.
