At present it has a menu entry "CD Ripper" under Sound & Video. There
is talk that it would be better to be integrated into gnome-cd, and
Colin Walters has expressed interest in integrating it into Rhythmbox as
well.

Musicbrainz is essentially an album metadata server, similar to CDDB but
more powerful. You can lookup CDs, albums, artists and follow the
metadata links. Musicbrainz can also identify a song from a sample, so
can be used to identify random Ogg/MP3s.
I think that Musicbrainz should be available in gnome-cd -- it would be
nice for it to be able to give a list of other albums the current artist
has done for example.
Also, if musicbrainz had an identical GObject-like API as CDDB in
gnome-media, sj could use either...
All in all, as much as I would like SJ to be in G2.4, I would also like
SJ to develop into a complete solution to the audio CD issue. Really
the interface is just a test bed for the underlying SjExtractor GObject.

Ross
