-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Bill: Just tried to recreate your results on my suse 9.1 system but things seemed to work fine. Both the ripped .wav and an .mp3 encoded from it are good. Tried both cdparanoia command line and grip to rip and lame to encode. Very mysterious. Good luck, - Darrell On Tuesday 05 October 2004 05:38, Bill Allen wrote:

I ran into a strange problem this weekend. I was trying to rip a couple of CDs with my amd64 suse 9.1. professional system for the first time. I used grip with cdparanoia set as the ripping program. cdparanoia spends its time ripping, then leaves a file that seems to be the correct length for the songs it's ripping, but when I play the files (the wav files from cdparanoia), the first 3 or so seconds have music, then dead silence for the remainder of the rip which would be the length of the original song.

To be sure, I tried some rips that I'd done previously using either cdparanoia under RH 9, or on windows with I forget what, and they play fine, so it isn't the playing - it's the ripping. I've ripped scores of cds with cdparanoia in the past, even though it might have been an older version.

Anybody had success ripping with cdparanoia? If not, what are you using successfully? Any ideas why this would be a problem?

Regards, Bill
