Please try to inform yourself to avoid writing incorrect claims...... Cdparanoia started as a patch on cdda2wav in 1997. It did never improve it's CD-DA code and for this reason, it's CD-DA properties are based on what cdda2wav could do 10 years ago. The code is full of non-portable parts. Cdparanoia died in 2001. For this reason, I did pull out it's essentials and created a portable and bug-fixed version of the paranoia code as "libparanoia" in 2002. Then cdda2wav has been enhanced to use the libparanoia code. Since 2002, cdds2wav it definitely the best choice for CD audio extraction. Monty did a great job when creating the code that is in libparanoia but he is no longer interested in cdparanoia. Cdda2wav reads CDs that cdparanoia won't read at all and it usually even does not need a dev= parameter at all! This is something Monty did try to implement a long time but never was able to devliver. Cdda2wav in attition writes a summyry line for each track that tells you whether there are audible problems in the extracted data. Do you really like to give up maintained code in favor of a dead program? http://cdrecord.berlios.de/ Jörg -- EMail:joerg@schily.isdn.cs.tu-berlin.de (home) Jörg Schilling D-13353 Berlin js@cs.tu-berlin.de (uni) schilling@fokus.fraunhofer.de (work) Blog: http://schily.blogspot.com/ URL: http://cdrecord.berlios.de/old/private/ ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schily
