Whipper is a CD ripping utility focusing on accuracy over speed that
supports multiple features:

 * Detects correct read offset (in samples)
 * Detects whether ripped media is a CD-R
 * Has ability to defeat cache of drives
 * Performs Test & Copy rips
 * Verifies rip accuracy using the AccurateRip database
 * Uses MusicBrainz for metadata lookup
 * Supports reading the pre-emphasis flag embedded into some CDs (and
   correctly tags the resulting rip)
 * Detects and rips non digitally silent Hidden Track One Audio (HTOA)
 * Provides batch ripping capabilities
 * Provides templates for file and directory naming
 * Supports lossless encoding of ripped audio tracks (FLAC)
 * Allows extensibility through external logger plugins
