But note that the fork you are using instead of the original software was made from a ~ 5 year old version of the original and while there have been many enhancements and bug fixes in the original since then, the fork is unmaintained. There are e.g. bugs related to memory access and related to the last sector number on disk that have been fixed.... Regarding cdparanoia: cdparanoia is basically a patch on a cdda2wav version from 1997. Cdda2wav massively evolved since then. As the development of cdparanoia stoped in ~ 1999 and as cdparanoia is non-portable, I ripped of the relevant parts from cdparanoia and created portable code from it under the name "libparanoia". This allows you to use the paranoia code on all 30+ platforms supported by cdrtools and this gives you the noticably enhanced device reading properties of recent cdda2wav versions. cdda2wav allows you to read CDs with many defects that cannot be read with cdparanoia at all. cdda2wav gives you a statistical summary at the end of each extracted track that informs you about the ripping quality. cdda2wav extracts meta data as well as audio data and thus allows you to create 1:1 copies - this won't work if you use cdparanoia. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
