website = [http://xiph.org/paranoia/index.html xiph.org/paranoia]cdparanoia is a
compact disc ripper for Unixes andBeOS , developed byXiph.org . It was designed to be a minimalistic, high-quality CD ripper that would be able to compensate for and adjust to poor hardware to produce a flawless rip. The Paranoia library, libparanoia, is the standard CD ripping library inKDE andGNOME .Design
libparanoia is the foundation of the project and does most of the work, whereas the application cdparanoia is merely an application frontend to libparanoia. The current stable release of the library is Paranoia III.
The guiding principle of cdparanoia's design is "Too many features spoil the broth". cdparanoia is designed to rip correctly and know as much as possible about the
CD-ROM hardware instead of implementing extraneous features such as agraphical user interface or aCDDB interface.Development history
cdparanoia is developed by
Xiph.org , the same team behindVorbis andTheora , who provide public Subversion read-only access. The project began as a set of patches tocdda2wav , called Paranoia I and II that provided limited error correction and supported few drives. Paranoia III, (January1998 ), was a standalone library for BeOS and Linux; some claim it has a difficult to extend API.Fact|date=February 2007Paranoia IV, the current development version, is designed to be more flexible, portable and capable. Planned features include
parallel port drive support, pregap detection and removal, andNetBSD and Solaris ports. Development seemed to halt some time after2002 , with no public updates to the site and source code for several years, but resumed in August, 2006 [ [http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/paranoia-announce/2006-August/000006.html Prerelease of Cdparanoia 10.0] ] with the prerelease of version 10.0.tatus indicators
One of the quirks behind cdparanoia is that its ripping status is indicated by a
smiley . The following smilies (from the cdparanoia manual) are used::-) 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 re-read; 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
