Hi Kevin, I did a little work on KCompactDisc about two years ago (and also looked at KAudioCreator), and then realised it hadn't been working for a long time. I never got around to finishing it, but I think someone else got it partially working in the meantime.
IIRC the problems I ran into were: 1) KAudioCreator seemed to use KCompactDisc to enumerate audio CDs but that didn't work. Audio CD enumeration seems to have been removed from Solid in KF5. 2) Phonon's Audio CD reading/ripping interfaces do work (at least with the VLC backend), but are undocumented. I don't know if it still exists but I had a branch of KCompactDisc somewhere that was based off libcdio, and would expose each track as a QIODevice with a RIFF header generated on-the-fly (so that you can just use the standard Qt interfaces to copy each track as a WAV file somewhere)). If you want to use it I'll try to look it up. I'd volunteer to help - I love to work with oldish technology - but I no longer have a CD drive.
