cdparanoia

cdparanoia is a command-line tool that can be used to rip audio CDs to a computer. It is a high-quality CD ripper that can compensate for and adjust to poor hardware to produce a flawless rip.

cdparanoia is used in the following syntax:

cdparanoia [options] [device] [output_file]

The options can be used to specify the following:

  • -r : Read audio tracks from the CD.

  • -w : Write audio tracks to the output file.

  • -b : Set the output bit depth (16 or 24).

  • -v : Verbose mode.

  • -q : Quiet mode.

For example, to rip the audio tracks from the CD in the drive /dev/cdrom to the file my_cd.wav, you would run the following command:

cdparanoia -r -w my_cd.wav /dev/cdrom

This command will rip the audio tracks from the CD in the drive /dev/cdrom and save the ripped tracks to the file my_cd.wav.

To set the output bit depth to 24, you would run the following command:

cdparanoia -r -w my_cd.wav -b 24 /dev/cdrom

This command will rip the audio tracks from the CD in the drive /dev/cdrom and save the ripped tracks to the file my_cd.wav in 24-bit format.

To enable verbose mode, you would run the following command:

cdparanoia -r -w my_cd.wav -v /dev/cdrom

This command will rip the audio tracks from the CD in the drive /dev/cdrom and save the ripped tracks to the file my_cd.wav. It will also print more information about the ripping process, such as the status of the drive and the quality of the rip.

To disable verbose mode, you would run the following command:

cdparanoia -r -w my_cd.wav -q /dev/cdrom

This command will rip the audio tracks from the CD in the drive /dev/cdrom and save the ripped tracks to the file my_cd.wav. It will not print any information about the ripping process.
