Is there a reliable CD audio ripping solution for Linux?
I have several hundred CD Audio discs I'd like to rip to flac files, but having a tough time finding a consistently reliable ripping option for Linux.
I have tried Rhythmbox Goobox VLC abcde All work once or twice then stop reading the next disc inserted into the drive. This is on three PCs, running Ubuntu or Mint. Currently I'm finding the only consistently reliable solution is to boot into Windows and use one of the many options available on it. Any suggestions whatelse I might try on Linux to get a better outcome? Thanks |
I ripped all mine with abcde and had no trouble at all. What you describe is real weird, do you get any error messages?
|
are you sure the songs aren't on youtube already?

I intervene and manually eject the CD. abcde reports Code:
[WARNING] something went wrong while querying the CD... Maybe a DATA CD or the CD is not loaded? Weirdly, if I reboot the Linux OS the first couple of CDs will process OK. Then on the third or fourth that above errors return. Frustrating.... |
Anything in dmesg when it hangs?

Might see if you can find a usb cd reader to test. I'd get the feeling it is more of a mechanical issue. I'd think one or two disc's could be bad but it's usually easy to hold up to light to see if any defects.

I use k3b to rip audio CDs. Easy and reliable.
You did not say what OS version you have, but here is a reference for several ripping tools. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping You might also try an update of the OS, just in case an earlier update got something out of sync between software packages. |

Note that although there's a TIMEOUT the AUDIODISC link lists in nemo. Strange days.... Code:

Can we assume these are store bought CD's?
|
Good question, copied CD/DVD's tend to get damaged over time even if not used at all
|
Not sure if this would help the OP, but I use Asunder now. In the past I was mainly using K3b.

Is this SATA controller in AHCI mode?
