The cdparanoia command takes exactly one argument, which
describes how much of the CD to record. It uses numbers followed

track up to the fifth second of the second track. The time format is
demarcated by colons, hours:minutes:seconds:.sectors, with the last
item, sectors, preceded by a decimal point (a sector is 1/75 of a
second). It’s best to put this argument within quotes.
If you use the -B option, the span argument is not required.
