NAME


cdparanoia - an audio CD reading utility which includes extra data verification features

SYNOPSIS


cdparanoia [options] span [outfile] |-B

DESCRIPTION


cdparanoia retrieves audio tracks from CDDA-capable CDROM drives. The data can be saved
to a file or directed to standard output in WAV, AIFF, AIFF-C or raw format. Most ATAPI
and SCSI and several proprietary CDROM drive makes are supported; cdparanoia can determine
if the target drive is CDDA capable.

In addition to simple reading, cdparanoia adds extra-robust data verification,
synchronization, error handling and scratch reconstruction capability.

OPTIONS


-A --analyze-drive
Run and log a complete analysis of drive caching, timing and reading behavior;
verifies that cdparanoia is correctly modelling a specific drive's cache and read
behavior. Implies -vQL.

-v --verbose
Be absurdly verbose about the auto-sensing and reading process. Good for setup and
debugging.

-q --quiet
Do not print any progress or error information during the reading process.

-e --stderr-progress
Force output of progress information to stderr (for wrapper scripts).

-l --log-summary [file]
Save result summary to file, default filename cdparanoia.log.

-L --log-debug [file]
Save detailed device auto-sense and debugging output to a file, default filename
cdparanoia.log.

-V --version
Print the program version and quit.

-Q --query
Perform CDROM drive auto-sense, query and print the CDROM table of contents, then
quit.

-s --search-for-drive
Forces a complete search for a CDROM drive, even if the /dev/cdrom link exists.

-h --help
Print a brief synopsis of cdparanoia usage and options.

-p --output-raw
Output headerless data as raw 16-bit PCM data with interleaved samples in host byte
order. To force little or big endian byte order, use -r or -R as described below.

-r --output-raw-little-endian
Output headerless data as raw 16-bit PCM data with interleaved samples in LSB first
byte order.

-R --output-raw-big-endian
Output headerless data as raw 16-bit PCM data with interleaved samples in MSB first
byte order.

-w --output-wav
Output data in Micro$oft RIFF WAV format (note that WAV data is always LSB-first
byte order).

-f --output-aiff
Output data in Apple AIFF format (note that AIFC data is always in MSB-first byte
order).

-a --output-aifc
Output data in uncompressed Apple AIFF-C format (note that AIFF-C data is always in
MSB-first byte order).

-B --batch

Cdda2wav-style batch output flag; cdparanoia will split the output into multiple
files at track boundaries. Output file names are prepended with 'track#.'

-c --force-cdrom-little-endian
Some CDROM drives misreport their endianness (or do not report it at all); it's
possible that cdparanoia will guess wrong. Use -c to force cdparanoia to treat the
drive as a little endian device.

-C --force-cdrom-big-endian
As above but force cdparanoia to treat the drive as a big endian device.

-n --force-default-sectors n
Force the interface backend to do atomic reads of n sectors per read. This number
can be misleading; the kernel will often split read requests into multiple atomic
reads (the automated Paranoia code is aware of this) or allow reads only within a
restricted size range. This option should generally not be used.

-d --force-cdrom-device device
Force the interface backend to read from device rather than the first readable
CDROM drive it finds. This can be used to specify devices of any valid interface
type (ATAPI, SCSI, or proprietary).

-k --force-cooked-device device
This option forces use of the old 'cooked ioctl' kernel interface with the
specified CDROM device. The cooked ioctl interface is obsolete in Linux 2.6 if it
is present at all. -k cannot be used with -d or -g.

-g --force-generic-device device
This option forces use of the old 'generic SCSI' (sg) kernel interface with the
specified generic SCSI device. -g cannot be used with -k. -g may be used with -d
to explicitly set both the SCSI carom and generic (sg) devices separately. This
option is only useful on obsolete SCSI setups and when using the generic SCSI (sg)
driver.

-S --force-read-speed number
Use this option explicitly to set the read rate of the CD drive (where supported).
This can reduce underruns on machines that have slow disks, or which are low on
memory.

-t --toc-offset number
Use this option to force the entire disc LBA addressing to shift by the given
amount; the value is added to the beginning offsets in the TOC. This can be used
to shift track boundaries for the whole disc manually on sector granularity. The
next option does something similar...

-T --toc-bias
Some drives (usually random Toshibas) report the actual track beginning offset
values in the TOC, but then treat the beginning of track 1 index 1 as sector 0 for
all read operations. This results in every track seeming to start too late (losing
a bit of the beginning and catching a bit of the next track). -T accounts for this
behavior. Note that this option will cause cdparanoia to attempt to read sectors
before or past the known user data area of the disc, resulting in read errors at
disc edges on most drives and possibly even hard lockups on some buggy hardware.

-O --sample-offset number
Use this option to force the entire disc to shift sample position output by the
given amount; this can be used to shift track boundaries for the whole disc
manually on sample granularity. Note that this will cause cdparanoia to attempt to
read partial sectors before or past the known user data area of the disc, probably
causing read errors on most drives and possibly even hard lockups on some buggy
hardware.

-Z --disable-paranoia
Disable all data verification and correction features. When using -Z, cdparanoia
reads data exactly as would cdda2wav(1) with an overlap setting of zero. This
option implies that -Y is active.

-z --never-skip[=max_retries]
Do not accept any skips; retry forever if needed. An optional maximum number of
retries can be specified; for comparison, default without -z is currently 20.

-Y --disable-extra-paranoia
Disables intra-read data verification; only overlap checking at read boundaries is
performed. It can wedge if errors occur in the attempted overlap area. Not
recommended.

-X --abort-on-skip
If the read skips due to imperfect data, a scratch, or whatever, abort reading this
track. If output is to a file, delete the partially completed file.

OUTPUT SMILIES


:-) Normal operation, low/no jitter

:-| Normal operation, considerable jitter

:-/ Read drift

:-P Unreported loss of streaming in atomic read operation

8-| Finding read problems at same point during reread; hard to correct

:-0 SCSI/ATAPI transport error

:-( Scratch detected

;-( Gave up trying to perform a correction

8-X Aborted read due to known, uncorrectable error

:^D Finished extracting

PROGRESS BAR SYMBOLS


<space>
No corrections needed

- Jitter correction required

+ Unreported loss of streaming/other error in read

! Errors found after stage 1 correction; the drive is making the same error through
multiple re-reads, and cdparanoia is having trouble detecting them.

e SCSI/ATAPI transport error (corrected)

V Uncorrected error/skip

SPAN ARGUMENT


The span argument specifies which track, tracks, or subsections of tracks to read. This
argument is required, unless batch-mode is used (in batch-mode, cdparanoia will rip all
tracks if no span is given). NOTE: Unless the span is a simple number, it's generally a
good idea to quote the span argument to protect it from the shell.

The span argument may be a simple track number or an offset/span specification. The
syntax of an offset/span takes the rough form:

1[ww:xx:yy.zz]-2[aa:bb:cc.dd]

Here, 1 and 2 are track numbers; the numbers in brackets provide a finer-grained offset
within a particular track. [aa:bb:cc.dd] is in hours/minutes/seconds/sectors format. Zero
fields need not be specified: [::20], [:20], [20], [20.], etc, would be interpreted as
twenty seconds, [10:] would be ten minutes, [.30] would be thirty sectors (75 sectors per
second).

When only a single offset is supplied, it is interpreted as a starting offset and ripping
will continue to the end of the track. If a single offset is preceded or followed by a
hyphen, the implicit missing offset is taken to be the start or end of the disc,
respectively. Thus:

1:[20.35]
Specifies ripping from track 1, second 20, sector 35 to the end of track 1.

1:[20.35]-
Specifies ripping from 1[20.35] to the end of the disc

-2 Specifies ripping from the beginning of the disc up to (and including) track 2

-2:[30.35]
Specifies ripping from the beginning of the disc up to 2:[30.35]

2-4 Specifies ripping from the beginning of track 2 to the end of track 4.

Again, don't forget to protect square brackets from the shell.

EXAMPLES


A few examples, protected from the shell:

Query only with exhaustive search for a drive and full reporting of auto-sense:

cdparanoia -vsQ

Extract an entire disc, putting each track in a separate file:

cdparanoia -B

Extract from track 1, time 0:30.12 to 1:10.00:

cdparanoia "1[:30.12]-1[1:10]"

Extract from the beginning of the disc up through track 3:

cdparanoia -- -3

The "--" above is to distinguish "-3" from an option flag.

OUTPUT


The output file argument is optional; if it is not specified, cdparanoia will output
samples to one of cdda.wav, cdda.aifc, or cdda.raw depending on whether -w, -a, -r or, -R
is used (-w is the implicit default). The output file argument of - specifies standard
output; all data formats may be piped.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS


cdparanoia sprang from and once drew heavily from the interface of Heiko Eissfeldt's
([email protected]) 'cdda2wav' package. cdparanoia would not have happened without
it.

Joerg Schilling has also contributed SCSI expertise through his generic SCSI transport
library.
