I guess that's why it's part of the NetBSD ports collection (/usr/pkgsrc/audio/cdparanoia). ;-) => Its authors claim to be => working on porting it to other platforms, but its code is => *very* Linux-centric, so I wouldn't hold my breath. I've been using cdparanoia on my DEC 3000/300 Alpha under NetBSD literally for years now. I'd say that's a fairly good portability test, or, at the very least, an indication that it can run outside the Linux world. => I've used cdda2wav with success, but there are other choices => in the ports collection as well. The cdrdao package includes a version of the cdparanoia DAE library, so when you do DAE using cdrdao, you're kind of using cdparanoia. For those with ATAPI devices, Soren released a version of cdrecord and cdrdao ported to work with ATAPI devices. (Search the archives for his announcement.) Alternatively, applying the ATAPI CAM patches (already part of CURRENT now, I believe) should let you use SCSI-based tools.
