TIL (or relearned): /dev/sg0 is the device I should be using for ripping CDs. It's still not great on this machine (roughly 9×), but it's still three times faster than /dev/cdrom, aka /dev/sr0

What you are seeing in the photograph is of course the ripping process of the CD on an ancient notebook which still has a DVD recorder in it

cdparanoia is the best cd ripper for me

Entre #Whipper y #CyanRip de momento me gusta más CyanRip. Parece que el desarrollador entiende mejor cómo funciona #cdparanoia. Añade #ReplayGain y carátulas. Hace uso de #FFmpeg por lo que puede potencialmente soportar más formatos de salida. Y es más rápido. Whipper realiza una primera lectura completa del CD diciéndote los errores CRC que encuentra, luego inicia una segunda lectura para volcar las pistas y una tercera lectura para verificarlas. Aparentemente CyanRip realiza todo eso en una única lectura. Whipper además parece que tiene un error al interpretar los resultados de cdparanoia tirando excepciones de división por zero al intentar obtener la calidad de pistas con longitud zero (debería de reintentar leer silenciosamente, CyanRip al final te da un resumen con los intentos de relectura y verificación de cdparanoia). Además la hoja CUE (https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Cue_sheet) escrita por Whipper no tiene metadatos y de los dos CD que he probado uno la ha generado un tanto raro, jugando con el comando INDEX (ripeado más de una vez y hace lo mismo).

El único contra de CyanRip es que tienes que indicarle manualmente qué versión del disco que hay en la base de datos de #MusicBrainz quieres utilizar.

Audio CD ripping - optical drive accuracy listing. https://pilabor.com/blog/2022/10/audio-cd-ripping-hardware/

I tend to keep my audio local. Therefore, I need an accurate ripping device for my audio #CD collection. Recently I found a neat listing in the #dbPowerAmp forum, but I added some information as well as ways to filter and sort. Have fun!

I still have a working #Musicbrainz account!

Incidentally, that's still much more recent than the latest #cdparanoia release, which was 2008 and still delivers just fine on a modern Linux:

cdparanoia III release 10.2 (September 11, 2008)

In July 2019 I submitted a patch to update the audio/cdparanoia FreeBSD port to the latest release (cdparanoia-III 10.2). Now, five years later, it looks as if it will finally be committed.

Sometimes it just takes a bit of extra patience :D

i'm skeptical that #cdparanoia works at full drive speed, but i'm willing to suspend my disbelief, because i can clearly hear my CD-ROM drive going "tickticktickticktickticktick", which is probably the rereads

@linuxgal I remember using #cdparanoia for this back in the day; particularly good for scratchy/damaged CDs.

I have a patchset to update FreeBSDs audio/cdparanoia port to cdparanoia-III 10.2 (released in 2008) in the pipeline. I successfully ripped a few of my audio CDs and it seems to work fine. I will test it on a few of my more problematic CDs before submitting it, though.
