Grip is a free Compact Disc player and CD ripper within the GNOME project.

Development began in 1998, and it was registered as a project at the SourceForge.net free and open-source software website on March 17, 2000. Pre-compiled binaries are available for RPM Linux distributions. The software is rather similar to Audiograbber on Windows - without sound card capture feature; it is fast, light, easy to compile and it does well what it is intended to do.

Grip uses a selection of encoders, including cdparanoia. The current official GNOME ripper is Sound Juicer.
