cdparanoia is a command-line compact disc ripper for Unix-like operating systems and BeOS, developed by Xiph.org. It is designed to be a minimalistic CD ripper that would be able to compensate for and adjust to poor hardware to produce an accurate rip.[1]
libparanoia is a portable and platform-independent library that was made from the important parts ripped from the Linux/gcc-only program cdparanoia. Libparanoia is part of cdrtools.
Design
[edit]libparanoia is the foundation of the project and does most of the work, whereas the application cdparanoia is merely an application frontend to libparanoia. The current stable release of the library is Paranoia III. cdparanoia is thorough about getting every bit from a CD, but can be slower than other CD rippers due to this.[2] A live output is displayed to show how long is left.[3] It can save the audio from discs as WAV, AIFF, AIFF-C, or raw format files. The status is displayed by an emoticon.[4]
Several programs provide a graphical frontend to cdparanoira, such as RubyRipper[5] or Sound Juicer.[6]
Status indicators
[edit]One of the quirks of cdparanoia is that its ripping status is indicated by an emoticon. As per the cdparanoia manual, the following emoticons are used:
:-) Normal operation, low/no jitter :-| Normal operation, considerable jitter :-/ Read drift :-P Unreported loss of streaming in atomic read operation 8-| Finding read problems at same point during re-read; hard to correct :-0 SCSI/ATAPI transport error :-( Scratch detected ;-( Gave up trying to perform a correction 8-X Aborted read due to known, uncorrectable error :^D Finished extracting
