[newbie] OT - stereo vs. puter cd players
My daughter got hold of an audio cd and scratched it all up. Thinking it would be for the trash, I nevertheless gave it a shot and cleaned it and put it in my stereo's cd player; to my surprise, nary a skip! I thought I'd best back it up so I tried ripping it with cdparanoia to encode to flac, but it just hangs with all sorts of problems. So, why the diff? Any way to rip it from my stereo's cd?

I do this all the time to make copies of my kids cd's, both audio and computer, that they scratch up routinely. I use grip to rip the audio tracks though, and rarely have a problem. Grip has the cdparanoia libraries statically linked. I don't know if that makes a difference though. So, why the diff? Any way to rip it from my stereo's cd?

(Technics SL-PG480A) Todd As you already own it, there should be no reason why you can't download it as MP3 if not FLAC (I know its not as good, but) from a torrent site. Probably the easiest way to go. -- pm The enemy is anybody who's going to get you killed, no matter which side he's on. Joseph Heller, Catch 22 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

(Technics SL-PG480A) Todd Degrees of quality. You can copy any old quality if you want, and some programmes like resound can even have a go at repairing the damage, to a degree, but in the end the better the quality of sound reporduction equipement the more demanding the quality of original recording has to be and I guess cdparanoia is trying to do a decent job for you. If my memory serves me correctly you tell cdparanoia to ignor or lessen the measure of quality demanded, or was that only in grip. John Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
