Rip damaged CDs with CDParanoia
Authored by: dahjelle on Nov 19, '03 01:09:42PM

I've tried cdda2wav to rip CDs on my old 333MHz lime iMac with Panther. (Even on relatively unscathed CDs and copying to AIFF, the machine just isn't able to keep up terribly well.) Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to find either my internal CD (read-only) drive nor my external USB CD-R drive.

I did have to use some of the hints at the cdrecord guide in order to try use my CD drive instead of a DVD drive and to unmount the disc from the Finder using disktool.

Does anyone have any thoughts as to what I could do? Or is my hardware simply unsupported?

The easiest way to use cdparanoia is to use one of the GUIs that incoprates it and eg cdrecord or cdrdao.
There are several of these including Missing Media Burner and FireStarter FX, and both do include documentation on how to setup for different drives.
