It turns out that cdparanoia (on my old workstation) grabbed the
tracks first time but the studio had added those deliberate errors
for copy protection, so the music is full of clicking. The CD drive
in my server won't even accept the disc.
My next plan was to fire up Audacity and record from the optical
input (gotta keep it digital). That would have required moving the
CD player which is a little inconvenient, so I decided to re-try the
good old marker pen trick. This time iTunes has grabbed it perfectly
(at about 1/4 of its usual speed though). Maybe I'd gone a little
overboard with the marker pen last time.

Which is
what you have to do for non-digital media already.
