Synopsis
cdda2wav [options] [output.wav]
Convert Compact Disc Digital Audio (CDDA) to the WAV format. This process is often called “ripping” a CD-ROM, and is generally performed before using an encoder to convert the file to a compressed music format such as OGG or MP3. By default, cdda2wav reads data from the /dev/cdrom device and outputs one WAV file per track.
