OK, there are 2 things I'd like help with: 1) What's the recommended or best way for ripping audio CDs in FreeBSD-5.X? That is putting music CD to HD for encoding ogg/flac/mp3 etc. cdparanoia/cdda2wav/dagrab or "dd"ing /dev/acd0tX? should I be using the native atapi code for my ide-CD-drive or is the atapicam module recommended? [I must say that I have had trouble finding much on atapicam. e.g. why/when it should be used, advantages over normal atapi, performance considerations, is it better for burning, etc.] 2) I'm having some weird behavior with cdparanoia. I have a dvd-rom and a cd-burner both lite-on that have worked flawlessly under Linux & windows. The behavior outlined below is the same for both drives. here's the deal. with atapicam in the kernel cdparanoia works perfectly. without atapicam [using normal ide code, acd0] it's a different story. it complains about sensing endianness, messes up the running kernel, and never finishes. But when I give cdparanoia either the -c or -C flags [force little & big endianness respectively] it works fine. It doesn't matter whether I use -c or -C and I actually have no idea what endianness my drives have. so... PROBLEM ======== cdparanoia -vsQ cdparanoia -B NO PROBLEM =========== cdparanoia -cvsQ cdparanoia -CvsQ cdparanoia -cB 7 cdparanoia -CB 7 Thank you, Lex. PS - I'd really appreciate a personal CC for this as I'm not on any lists yet but I'll check out the web archive also.
