Hi,
I have some trouble ripping an audio CD (Yes, I own it) with k3b on TW 20200123. k3b expects a CD to be entered, but according to the log (attached) it does not detect any (obvious). *Before that* I tried playing it with DragonPlayer, which worked for some minutes before it got stuck reading (I had cleaned the lens) Same issue with a different device and Leap 15.1 CD plays nicely on an audio CD player
Any ideas what to try?
as a workaround: dd the CD to an ISO and rip that afterwards with K3B?
I never heard about the possibility of dd'ing audio CDs! And I've ripped quite some CDs in my life before Spotify..
Audio CDs were not engineered to be read error free. Scratches are dealt with a tiny bit of redundancy (subcodes), since ordinarily playing an Audio CD is time constraint. Therefore cdparanoia uses a couple of different complex *heuristics* to workaround these issues and minimize jitter and error rate (with the trade off of taking more time..)
Once, there were Plextor drives available, that provided a firmware extension to read Audio CDs with a high data rate while maintaining minimal error rate, but even those drives can't work miracles, if the scratches were too big/too many, the missing data has to be "reconstructed" somehow, after a painfully number of tries to read as much as possible.
If you cannot get cdparanoia to read the CD, try another drive. Maybe you can get hold of a Plextor drive. I still have one for such purposes...
Thanks to all for your answers - it seemed to be a hardware problem (with both drives!). I got an external USB DVD-writer today, with which it works flawlessly!
