Rip music from enhanced CD

Mr Marmmalade · 08-12-2008, 03:20 PM

I've had a pretty easy time of it with Etch as my first foray into debian since it came out, but I've now got a question at last. I've been happily ripping a bunch of my CDs to OGGs in preparation for a long flight but I've just tried an enhanced CD & it therefore doesn't show me the usual folders that KDE produces for OGG, WAVs, FLACs etc via some magic, due to it loading up the data part of the CD. I've also tried the KDE AudioCreator Ripper thing but it also doesnt want to work.

Any ideas? Google wasn't getting me anywhere.

K3B is supposed to support enhanced CD's can you rip it with K3B ?

Code:

Creating mixed-mode CDs:

    * CD-Extra (CD-Plus, Enhanced Audio CD) support.
    * All data and audio project features.



CD Copy

    * Copy single and multi session data CDs
    * Copy Audio CDs
    * Copy Enhanced Audio CDs (CD-Extra)


Enhanced CD device handling:

    * Detection of max. writing and reading speed.
    * Detection of Burnfree and Justlink support.
    * Good media detection and optional automatic CD-RW and DVD-RW blanking


CD Ripping:

    * CDDB support via http, cddbp and local cddb directory.
    * Sophisticated pattern system to automatically organize the ripped tracks in directories and name them according to album, title, artist, and track number.
    * CD-TEXT reading. May be used instead of CDDB info.
    * K3b stores CDDB info of the ripped tracks which will automatically be used as CD-TEXT when adding the ripped files to an audio project.
    * Plugin system to allow encoding to virtually every audio format. Plugins to encode to Ogg Vorbis, Mp3, FLAC, and all formats supported by SoX included.

We'll K3B seems to be able to rip the ogg's from the CD fine, I stumbled into being able to RIP from the CD, I didnt think K3B could do this but its excellent. It seems massively faster than the KDE method I was using before too! It ripped the whole 47:35minute CD to Oggs in 5:47minutes!!! Thats brilliant!

I'll be using K3B from now on, thanks farslayer.
