Hi,
[ Not on -questions, please cc: replies to me, many thanks ]
I'm trying to read the audio tracks on some CDs so I can make my own MP3
files (so much more civilised to carry a few dozen songs on ZIP disk than
CD).
I've tried a couple of the 'rippers' in the ports collection. 'tosha'
produces .wav files with a lot of 'stuttering' in them (which doesn't
seem to be an artifact of the CD I'm using, since different tracks
from different CDs have the same problem.
'cdd' prints some opening info (a track listing, and so on) before
failing with
CDIOREADAUDIO: Permission denied
which I don't see listed in cd(4). I'm not sure how this is a permissions
problem, since I'm trying this as root.
The permissions in /dev are
brw-r----- 1 root operator 6, 2 Jan 31 1998 /dev/cd0c
crw------- 1 root wheel 15, 0x20000000 Jan 31 1998 /dev/rcd0.ctl
crw-r----- 1 root operator 15, 2 Jan 31 1998 /dev/rcd0c
It's a SCSI CD drive, the appropriate lines from dmesg(8) are
ncr0 <ncr 53c875 fast20 wide scsi> rev 3 int a irq 10 on pci0:12:0
...
(ncr0:6:0): "TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-3801TA 0207" type 5 removable SCSI 2
cd0(ncr0:6:0): CD-ROM
cd0(ncr0:6:0): 10.0 MB/s (100 ns, offset 8)
And this is on FreeBSD 2.2-stable, last "make world" was on Jan 30th.
Other CD operations (mounting filesystems, playing audio CDs through
the sound card, and so on) work with no problems, and no excessive
jitter.
A search through the mailing list archives hasn't shown up anyone with
the same problem, just recommendations to try 'tosha' or 'cdd', and
these no other messages with "CDIOREADAUDIO" according to the archives.
Any help appreciated.
