 There are several projects going on about rip/encode:
 MusicBox: http://www.people.virginia.edu/~yc2w/GNUstep/english/
 Encod: http://s.peron.free.fr/GNUStep/
 And the GSBurn is for burning: http://gsburn.sourceforge.net/
 Maybe you are interested to have a look.
 All the GNUstep applications can be found at http://www.gnustep.net

 Both the xlib and libart/freetype backend support anti-alias.
 For xlib, set GSFontAntiAlias = YES in GNUstepDefault,
 it will use Xft.
 libart/freetype seems to anti-alias automatically.

 My little comments.
