Kubuntu useless for ripping CDs

[tudza]

Well, grip was a good suggestion.

For the particular CDs in question, it is getting past the first several 
tracks that were completely stopping KAudioCreator and an alternative 
Java application.

I'm not sure if it is the cd paranoia stuff or not.  The Java ripper I 
tried has this as an option and I had it selected.

Grip is still working much slower than the freeware ripper I use on 
Windows.  I don't think it is a complete solution to the problem
