Cons
Con Does not support MusicBrainz for tagging
Con Segmentation error
Ubuntu 18.04 - start from command line: "Segmentation fault (core dumped)". From GUI it does not start at all. Let's google a bit..
Con Lacks a path example to see as you select (like easytag)
Con Ripping takes at least two times as long as some quick-and-dirty burst-mode ripper
...but for a bit-identical copy of your audio CD you were expecting that, right?
Con Usually not present in default software repositories of your favorite Linux distribution
(as of 2019)
Con No support for AccurateRip or similar service
(For verification of rips against results of other people.)
