Cons
Con Can't control bitstream and sampling rate
These are properties of the file, so you get what's there - an exact digital copy of the material on the CD. Changing these means editing the file. The most common sampling rate is 44.1K samples/second with a sample size of 16 bits. Unless you're dealing with studio masters, which are often recorded at a sample rate of 48K samples/second, there's no advantage at all in upping the specs on a file which was recorded on CD at 16/44.1.
Con Limited preference settings
No option to choose mp3 bitrate.
Con Can't extract to wav format
Con Look-up and mounting fails on some distros
