I guess that's why it's part of the NetBSD ports collection
(/usr/pkgsrc/audio/cdparanoia). ;-)

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.
Cheers,
Paul.
