RE: [SLE] CD Ripping Problems
I had the same problem until I switched my CDROM back to scsi emulation (ide-scsi). As soon as I rebooted, it was smooth sailing. K -----Original Message----- From: Bryce Hardy [mailto:cygnia@sonic.net] Sent: Wednesday, August 18, 2004 9:51 AM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: [SLE] CD Ripping Problems Using SuSE 9.1 (x86_64) with all current updates with NEC DVD RW Suddenly (i.e. this is a new problem; it was working fine before,) when trying to rip tracks from CDs with the following commands: cygnia@cygniapolis:~> cdparanoia -w 2 "Thunder Road.wav" I get the following output/error messages: Ripping from sector 20285 (track 2 [0:00.00]) to sector 41936 (track 2 [4:48.51]) outputting to Thunder Road.wav (== PROGRESS == [!+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++*| 041936 00 ] == :^D * ==) The ! means that "Errors are getting through stage 1 but corrected in stage2" The + means that "Unreported loss of streaming/other error in read" Also, during the ripping process, the progress bar indicates a :-P, which means that "Unreported loss of streaming in atomic read operation", (all the above according to the docs.) The resulting sound files are useless because of the errors. I have already eliminated the possibilities involved with the other related threads here since I'm using kernel 2.6.5, not the problematic 2.6.8. My request is simply for advice on whether the above errors indicate a drive that has gone bad. (Along with every other component in this new system, it's a brand new drive.) I'd appreciate anyone able to interpret the above messages.

Hi Ken, thanks for the chance I don't have to buy another drive. I'll look into doing that. I've just found a thread over at linuxcompatible.org that shows how, but I can't play with it right now. I sure hope that'll work. Again thanks for your response. -- Bryce Hardy (Santa Rosa, CA USA) cygnia@sonic.net

Try cdrdao rather than cdrecord, that fixed my issues. Matt

Thanks Matthew, unless I'm misunderstanding both you and the man page for that, I'm trying to rip tracks from the CD to the hard drive and then convert them to ogg files, which it doesn't seem to be able to do. -- Bryce Hardy (Santa Rosa, CA USA) cygnia@sonic.net

Try KDE Audio Creator or Konqueror's audiocd:/. They will read the audio and and convert them to ogg on the fly. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871

The first thing I did was try all of those, plus grip. It's definitely a problem with either the drive or...??? Besides I'm pretty sure those gui programs all use cdparanoia or similar as their backends anyway. But thanks for taking the time to respond. -- Bryce Hardy (Santa Rosa, CA USA) cygnia@sonic.net

Except xmcd. Xmcd has its own "driver" for CD drive control. It doesn't use cdrecord or cdparanoia. I am running xmcd on a SuSE 9.1 box with the 2.6.5-7.104-default kernel and it works just fine. -Ti

I ripped a CD a couple of days ago using GRIP encoded to .ogg without any problem on kernel 2.6.5-7.104-default , I also listened to it after ripping it seemed perfectly OK to me . No tried Xmcd or any other ripper for a while now have to have a play see how the compare Grip works fine for me thou .

There is a problem in the kernel that's just been fixed and may find it's way into SuSE or Mantel kernels. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.8.1/2.6.8.1-mm2/ - The monster memory leak which some people were seeing with audio CD writing should be fixed.

Use xmcd, which can rip CDs directly to Ogg Vorbis (as well as many other formats). I am the author so please forgive me for tooting the horn :). The xmcd that comes with SuSE 9.1 is out of date, and they made some changes that I don't quite grok. Anyway, I strongly recommend that you download the latest version from the official xmcd site: http://www.amb.org/xmcd/ Pre compiled binaries for Linux and a number of other Unix platforms are available (.tar.gz format only, no RPMs). You don't need to de-install the existing xmcd if you have it, just follow the instructions and install the new one and it will update itself. -Ti

Oh, and I forgot to mention, if you want to be able to rip CDs to MP3, you need to have "lame" on your system. Similarly, if you want to rip to AAC or MP4 formats, then you need "faac". SuSE 9.1 comes with lame, but not faac, but the xmcd download page provide links to where you can download it. Xmcd has built-in capability to rip to Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, and raw PCM formats without additional software. If you have a fast enough CD drive and CPU, then you can even listen to the music as you rip. -Ti
