Cdparanoia is a Compact Disc Digital Audio (CDDA) Digital Audio Extraction
|
|
(DAE) tool, commonly known on the net as a 'ripper'. The application is
|
|
built on top of the Paranoia library, which is doing the real work (the
|
|
Paranoia source is included in the cdparanoia source distribution).
|
|
Cdparanoia reads audio from the CDROM directly as data, with no analog step
|
|
between, and writes the data to a file or pipe in WAV, AIFC, or raw 16 bit
|
|
linear PCM.
|
|
|
|
Cdparanoia is a bit different than most other CDDA extraction tools. It
|
|
contains few-to-no 'extra' features, concentrating only on the ripping
|
|
process and knowing as much as possible about the hardware performing it.
|
|
Cdparanoia will read correct, rock-solid audio data from inexpensive drives
|
|
prone to misalignment, frame jitter, and loss of streaming during atomic
|
|
reads. Cdparanoia will also read and repair data from CDs that have been
|
|
damaged in some way.
|
|
|
|
Cdparanoia is easy to use and administrate. It has no compile time
|
|
configuration, happily autodetecting the CDROM, its type, its interface and
|
|
other aspects of the ripping process at runtime. A single binary can serve
|
|
the diverse hardware of the do-it-yourself computer laboratory from Hell.
