- jtl999 8y agoThe most modern CD ripper frontend for Linux I've found is whipper, which is a fork of morituri. It also has detailed log files, no ideas if "certain sites" accept them or not. Due to dependency shenanigans I couldn't run it on Debian so I created an LXC container on my server running Ubuntu 18.04, passed the /dev/sr0 block device and it worked. https://gist.github.com/jtl999/2991f1100b4f42895aa1842c5bef83af https://gist.github.com/jtl999/2991f1100b4f42895aa1842c5bef8... I'd be curious how well cdparanoia handles his CD if at all. Furthermore I read a post on a forum where someone tested a bunch of drives with scratched CDs and the Samsung SH-2xxxx drives performed the best. No idea of the exact methodology he used. https://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?34529-Best-DVD-drive-for-reading-scratched-discs-TEST-RESULTS-ON-GOING https://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?34529-Best-DVD-d... (Before you ask. I didn't buy this drive based on his post, bought it 7 years ago for my desktop on a whim) Still gotten 100% track quality out of whipper with some minor scratched discs.
- _emacsomancer_ 8y agoWhipper is ripper frontend that's 'planned' to eventually be accepted at 'certain sites', but it's not yet to my knowledge.
- cuckcuckspruce 8y agoDoes the default log file list the locations of sectors that failed to read? There's also a question of interpolation for obliterated sectors. Many would prefer there to be no data than interpolated data because that's a much more obvious failure mode.
- _emacsomancer_ 8y agoThey can parse it, but seem to want some proprietary plugin to create signed checksums to prevent (though in reality only for the most unknowledgeable) log spoofing.
