Hello list, FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE, using ripit.pl (audio/ripit) with lame and dagrab. I've got a (quite simple?) question which keeps me up at nights (not really :-). How do you rip those audio CDs that are "enhanced"? That's the CDs that have such fancy "multimedia" features you can use when you put the CD in a CD-ROM drive (under Windows of course), eg play some low-quality music video or navigate around some menus. I am of course not interested in any of those features, just want to make some MP3s from that CD so I can put them on my MP3 player. Here's the problem I have with every CD of that kind: I can rip every audio track except the last one, that is the track that comes before the data track on the CD, eg: Track 01: audio . . . Track 09: audio Track 10: data An example of such a CD is the "Rock in Rio" album by Iron Maiden. Ripping track 09 from the CD fails, no matter what ripper I use (dagrab, dd, cdparanoia, cdda2wav). Unfortunately I can't reproduce any error messages at the moment, but maybe someone knows what I mean? It basically stops reading after about 90% of the track and exists with an error message. Note: ripping and encoding normal CDs works like a charme, from the first to the last track. Using a Windows machine to rip an "enhanced" CD works of course, but I should be really surprised if such a task was impossible under FreeBSD. Does anybody have an idea? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance. -- Andreas "daff" Ntaflos | "A cynic is a man who knows the price of daff AT dword DOT org | everything, and the value of nothing." Vienna, AUSTRIA | Oscar Wilde
