How to rip CDs in FLAC format using Banshee?

Solution 1:

In Banshee's Edit->Preferences select the "Source Specific" tab, and then select "Audio CDs" under "Source". Under "Input Format" you should be able to select "Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC)".

Note: you will need the libflac8install libflac8 package installed, but this should be installed by default on Ubuntu as part of the GStreamer "good" plugins (gstreamer0.10-plugins-goodinstall gstreamer0.10-plugins-good ).
