For version 3.00 I've got this: $ cdda2wav --version cdda2wav 3.00 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1993-2004 Heiko EiÃfeldt (C) 2004-2010 Jörg Schilling Which is obviously the wrong characters, too. It should say Heiko Eißfeldt and Jörg Schilling. But maybe it was not only a problem for us, because they changed the spelling to use more simplified characters later. The latest version in ~amd64 shows me this instead: $ cdda2wav --version cdda2wav 3.01a02 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1993-2004 Heiko Eissfeldt (C) 2004-2010 Joerg Schilling

Be careful! There is a set of red-book deviations that is called "cactus datashield" cdparanoia will not extract more than 40 seconds from such a "CD" regardless of the drive you are using. With cdda2wav you will be able to extract the whole "CD" as long as the drive is not cunfused by the media and as long as you don't run hostile software like "hald" or similar that helps to confuse the drive.

The latest cdparanoia is from 2001. There seem to appear "later" versions but they do not increase functionality, they just fix some C syntax problems that prevent compilation with newer GCC versions. But all cdparanoia versions are based on a cdda2wav from 1997 and thus use outdated read functions. The interesting question seems to be: Why do you try to confuse people regarding to cdda2wav by modifiying it's output? cdda2wav-3.0 is from June 2010 and there is even a 3.01a02 from December 2010.

You completely missunderstand the purpose and ability of cdparanoia. Cdparanoia does not implement anything that helps you to read such non-CDs. If you could read all your CDs so far, you either don't own such intentionally broken media or there is a workaround in the firmware of your drive already. cdparanoia _only_ implements strategies to work around flaky readout results. The non-CDs have intentional deviations from the red book standard and for this reason, there is nothing flaky on them. They produce stable deviating results that cannot be handled by cdparanoia. cdda2wav on the other side implements strategies to work around varios red book deviations that help to read such non-standard media. It is the read layer (being below the paranoia layer) that is bad inside cdparanoia and the read layer has been significantly inreased inside cdda2wav during the past 14 years after cdparanoia forked cdda2wav.

This is not true, it uses the mainly unmodified code from cdda2wav and just added the paranoia code (written nonportably and such only usable if you compile with gcc on Linux and a few other OS) and cdparanoia restructured the "open device" code compared to the old cdda2wav. cdda2wav gives inferior quality compared to cdparanoia and is still actively maintained.

Or is it just a collection of garbage? As far as I know, CD-Paranoia access the cd-drive a bit more directly then other tools. Eg. it approaches it like a CD-ROM, rather then CD-Audio. The error messages appear as soon as you put the CD into the drive? Am wondering if some auto-mounting tool is trying to access it and is causing problems here. Do you also get those messages when you disable all KDE/Gnome/X/... and related stuff? Personally, I tend to use cdparanoia and other tools to generate OGG or MP3 files and store them on a fileserver and play them from there. -- Joost

I believe MS Windows 98 (yes, that long ago) used to present them as > *.WAV-files, Don't know if you've ever used Konqueror, but if you go to the address "audiocd:/", it gives you a load of folders like MP3 and OGG and FLAC, along with a wav file for each track. So you can either copy the files as WAV, or go into one of the folders and copy out MP3, OGG, etc. It's just that Konqueror does the extraction/conversion for you. Which, from memory, is different that Win98. IIRC, Win98 used to present CDs as 1KB cda files. I could be wrong, though... >> Oh, and I only own a few CDs that have DRM on them.

As soon as I put the CD into the drive, I get the same raft of error messages in /var/log/messages. But when I run 'cdparanoia "1"', it starts outputting to cdda.wav as normal. Now why would cdparanoia work, even though the kernel doesn't seem to like the CD? Does this tell us anything that might help me play the CDs? Jake Moe

Yes, I noticed similar behaviour last time I used MS Windows to play audio- CDs.

Ok, it was the first thing that came to mind. How far does "cdparanoia" get? That's the tool I generally use and it has always worked for me. Even with DRM'd CDs. -- Joost

Yeah, /dev/{cdrom,cdrw,dvd,dvdrw} all exist, and point to /dev/sr0:
jmoe@aus8617 ~ $ ls -l /dev/{cdrom,cdrw,dvd,dvdrw}
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jan 14 2011 /dev/cdrom -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jan 14 2011 /dev/cdrw -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jan 14 2011 /dev/dvd -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jan 14 2011 /dev/dvdrw -> sr0
jmoe@aus8617 ~ $
And if I try to mount a data CD or DVD, or watch a DVD, I have no
problems. It's only audio CDs that give me issues.

What are the programs looking for? Do you have /dev/cdrom in your system? Check /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules to ensure it looks right (in case you had a big change in your system config, like IDE -> SATA or something) This command might give you some clue what's happening when those errors occur if udev is involved: udevadm test /class/block/sr0

[gentoo-user] Strange problem with audio CDs
I can't seem to get audio CDs to work with my drive. Data CDs work fine, I can mount the filesystem and read them. Data and Video DVDs seem to work fine as well. But when I try to listen to an audio CD, I get the attached errors in log.bz2. I've tried using things from KsCD to cdplay; everything gives the same errors. Googling seems to indicate that there might be a problem with udev somehow, but most of those that I find have the "fix" as "update to the latest udev using apt/rpm/other binary distro package tool", which obviously won't work for Gentoo. Other solutions seem to be "update to libATA", but I'm already using that. I've gone through and tried to check anything obvious in my kernel config, but I can't see anything that'd affect it like this. Also, if I reboot into Windows (this laptop is a work computer as well), it plays and rips the same CDs just fine. Hardware is an HP EliteBook nc6930p laptop. CD/DVD drive is /dev/sr0.
