Hi, personally I find cd paranoia to be a much better program for getting
tracks from a cd. I don't know what distro you are using but I know for
certain it comes with Red Hat and Mandrake.

You can add Slackware to that list as well.

Cheers.

Extracting cd tracks

[Paul Migliorelli (+1 3 0 3 5 4 3 2 3 1 1)]

Hi all.  For the first time now that I finally have a burner, I've been 
reading the helpscreen for cdda2wav and am trying to figure out how to get 
certain tracks in a file.  I'm obviously missing something as always.  
I've been doing like
cdda2wav followed by space then a dash lowercase t then plus sign followed 
by tracknumbers followed by numbers separated by pluses

I've sometimes ended up with either track 1 alone in a file, or maybe if 
I've wanted say, tracks 3 thru 10, I'll only end up with the first 2.  
Sometimes I've seen a filename of audio dot wav, or a filename like plus 1 
plus 2 dot wav.

In any case, can I get the proper sequence??  Should there also be a way 
to just specify any particular single track if you only want 1, other than 
track 1??

Or, is there something more feasible that you're all using other than 
cdda2wav?

And finally, for playback, any other recommendations besides cdplayer??  
The only keys I get to work with it are arrows to move to different 
tracks, and a down arrow which does stop it but always opens the drive.  
Nothing on the numpad works, since they are speakup keys.  I've even 
pushed numlock with no luck.  Oh well.  That's it for now.  Thanks as 
always.

You might want to look at the cdparanoia program.  I have found it to be
more usable than cdda2wav, and it has a very helpful man page.

Hope this helps.

[Kerry Hoath]

Use cdparanoia.
It corrects the audio far better than cdda2wav does.
You can do thinks like the following:
cdparanoia -b 1-
(rips the whole disk)
cdparanoia -b 4-7
(rips those tracks into separate files
cdparanoia 2-4
sticks tracks 2-4 ina file.

Regards, Kerry.
