-w, --wait
Wait for a signal before recording anything.
-x, --max
Set recording quality (and amount of hard disk usage) to
maximum.
Examples
For most systems, you should be able to copy a complete CD to a
single WAV file with the following command:
cdda2wav
To copy a complete CD to a set of WAV files, one per track:
cdda2wav -B
After using cdda2wav, you will probably want to use an encoder to
compress and convert the files to a more usable format, such as
MP3 or Ogg Vorbis.
cdparanoia
cdparanoia [options] span [outfile]
Like cdda2wav, cdparanoia records Compact Disc audio files as
WAV, AIFF, AIFF-C, or raw format files. It uses additional data-
verification and sound-improvement algorithms to make the
process more reliable and is used by a number of graphical
recording programs as a backend.
Options
-a, --output-aifc
Output in AIFF-C format.
-B, --batch
Split output into multiple files, one per track. Each file will
begin with the track number. This is the single most
commonly used flag for this command.
-C, --force-cdrom-big-endian
Force cdparanoia to treat the drive as a big-endian device.
-c, --force-cdrom-little-endian
Force cdparanoia to treat the drive as a little-endian device.
-d, --force-cdrom-device devicename
Specify a device name to use instead of the first readable ...
