Cdparanoia is a Compact Disc Digital Audio (CDDA) Digital Audio Extraction |
2 |
(DAE) tool, commonly known on the net as a 'ripper'. The application is |
3 |
built on top of the Paranoia library, which is doing the real work (the |
4 |
Paranoia source is included in the cdparanoia source distribution). |
5 |
Cdparanoia reads audio from the CDROM directly as data, with no analog step |
6 |
between, and writes the data to a file or pipe in WAV, AIFC, or raw 16 bit |
7 |
linear PCM. |

Cdparanoia is a bit different than most other CDDA extraction tools. It |
10 |
contains few-to-no 'extra' features, concentrating only on the ripping |
11 |
process and knowing as much as possible about the hardware performing it. |
12 |
Cdparanoia will read correct, rock-solid audio data from inexpensive drives |
13 |
prone to misalignment, frame jitter, and loss of streaming during atomic |
14 |
reads. Cdparanoia will also read and repair data from CDs that have been |
15 |
damaged in some way. |

|
17 |
Cdparanoia is easy to use and administrate. It has no compile time |
18 |
configuration, happily autodetecting the CDROM, its type, its interface and |
19 |
other aspects of the ripping process at runtime. A single binary can serve |
20 |
the diverse hardware of the do-it-yourself computer laboratory from Hell. |
