Synopsis
cdparanoia [options]span[outfile]
Similar to cdda2wav, cdparanoia reads 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-aifcOutput in AIFF-C format.
-
-B, --batch Split the output into multiple files on track boundaries like
cdda2wav. Filenames are prefixed withtrack#.-c,--force-cdrom-little-endianForce cdparanoia to treat the drive as a little-endian device.
-C,--force-cdrom-big-endianForce cdparanoia to treat the drive as a big-endian device.
-ddevicename,--force-cdrom-devicedevicenameSpecify a device name to use instead of the first readable CD-ROM available.
-e,--stderr-progressSend all progress messages to standard error instead of standard output; used by wrapper scripts.
-f,--output-aiffOutput in AIFF format.
-gdevice,--force-generic-devicedeviceUse with
-gto set the generic device separately from that of the CD-ROM device. Useful only on nonstandard SCSI setups.-h,--helpDisplay options and syntax.
-ncount,--force-default-sectorscountDo atomic reads of count sectors per read. Not generally useful.
-Ocount,--sample-offsetcountShift sample positions by the given count. This shifts track boundaries for the whole disc. May cause read errors or even lockups on buggy hardware.
-p,--output-rawOutput headerless raw data.
-q,--quietQuiet mode. ...
