'''Sound Juicer''' is the official [[CD ripper]] program of [[GNOME]]. It is based on [[GTK]], [[GStreamer]], and [[libburnia]] for reading and writing optical discs.<ref>{{cite web |title=Debian -- Details of package sound-juicer in bullseye |url=https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/sound-juicer |access-date=13 May 2020}}</ref> It can extract audio tracks from [[Compact disc|optical audio discs]]<ref name="Dummy"/> and convert them into [[audio files]] that a [[personal computer]] or [[digital audio player]] can play. It supports ripping to any [[audio codec]] supported by a [[GStreamer]] plugin, such as [[Opus (audio format)|Opus]], [[MP3]], [[Vorbis|Ogg Vorbis]], [[FLAC]] and uncompressed [[Pulse-code modulation|PCM]] formats. Versions after 2.12 implement CD playing capability. Last versions produce lossy formats with default GStreamer settings.

Sound Juicer is designed to be easy to use and to work with little user intervention. For example, if the computer is connected to the [[Internet]], it will automatically attempt to retrieve track information<ref name="I"/> from the freely available [[MusicBrainz]] service. Sound Juicer is [[free and open-source software]] under the terms of the [[GNU GPL]]. Starting with version 2.10 it is an official part of the [[GNOME]].
