Cdda2wav should not be under "Waveform manipulation"; it merely rips CDs.
It should be under "Audio > CD Ripping".

Cdrdao should not be under "Audio > CD Ripping", since it actually
writes CD's.  It should be under "Audio > CD Burning".

Cdparanoia should not be under "CD playing", it rips CDs.  It should
be under "Audio > CD Ripping".

"Grip" should be under both categories "CD Ripping" and "CD Playing".

"Eject" should probably be under "CD Playing" rather than under "Misc".

There should also be a category for "Lossless Encoding" that should
contain the new program FLAC.  It's the up-and-coming lossless encoder
for audio files.

FLAC:  Free Lossless Audio Codec.  LGPL library, GPL programs.
Home page:  http://flac.sourceforge.net/index.html

You can get the rest of the info on FLAC from its home page.
