CDParanoia perhaps?

I need to get some music from an audio CD into a computer. Ordinarily I take the lazy route and use Audacity on Linux.
On this occasion I need a RISC OS solution. The CD will not play any of my mainstream machines – Mac, Pi400 Raspbian, Windows laptop. It just grinds away and issues hundreds of io errors.

However on the ARMX6 it is as good as gold and plays sweetly.
What is the best way to convert capture it currently?
In the past I have used some ported software, LAME, CDParanoia, etc, but don’t know what the current state of play is.

AudioFS2 does that job well, you will need Aemulor to get the application working but i just tried with 5.29 and it ripped a data track fine.

I don’t know the “best” way – the most expensive way is certainly CDVDBurn 3, the most adventurous way is my ReadAudio BBC BASIC program that needs to be hand-edited to “sample” the correct track(s) from the drive configured in a hideous “settings” text file: http://legacy.huber-net.de/readaudio.zip

Don’t double-click – read the !Help file first!

AudioFS2 is a nice drag and drop setup, you get the RAW WAV per file per track which you can then convert to preferred format, LAME is probably the best option to MP3.

AudioFS2 does that job well,

It does indeed Chris! By a coincidence the Tracks I wanted to save were on a CD labelled “Chris Singing”. DIY recordings of my late brother Chris playing guitar and singing some of his favourite songs.

The “easiest” way is MusicMan 2 which will extract the data and convert it into a range of formats, including using VFP acceleration on ARMX6. But you have to pay for it, I’m afraid. MM2 will automatically download track listings, and/or let you edit track details (and save them for the future). It supports a range of extraction formats – RAW, WAV (including embedding info if you wish, which is a rare feature), MP3, FLAC, OGG etc.

Otherwise, the commandline tools you mention are your “free” route.

I hope it worked for you John! Any help you need using LAME just ask, it is actually quite easy to use.

You can get the “!ClassicRip” ripping programs from here

They provide a choice between cdparanoia or a simpler ripframes method.
Also a choice between taskwindow and wimp versions.

sox works nicely if you want to generate, say, flac files.
