cdda2wav only works with SCSI drives.

I'm not sure if 4.3 supports it (I believe so) - but you can use /dev/acd0tX
where X is the track number to read the data directly. You need to read the
data with the correct block size, eg ->

t=1
name=track_01.mp3
dd if=/dev/acd0t$t bs=2352 | lame -r -x -V 1 -b 128 -h -m j -q1 - $name

I use this in a shell script to rip my cd's.

Another option is 'cdd' which is in the ports collection, it is marked broken
but it builds and works for me (well last time I tried - 4.2 some time)..

I have some Tcl scripts to chat to the cddb etc.. and a C program to gather
some info from the CD (number of tracks and 'CDDB ID').

That stuff is available here ->
