Duncan,
bring up a terminal and type this
cdparanoia -w 2 2.wav
tell us what you get as output... i have a few cds that do not work in a cd-rom, but fine in an audo cd player. an early run of king missile's first album doesn't work, there's no copy protection as far as i know.
what cd is this? it may be copy protected.
Of course I used CD's that have worked before.
cdparanoia -w 2 2.wav = completely OK, reads track, no problem.
Output:
cdparanoia III release 9.8 (March 23, 2001) (C) 2001 Monty <monty@xxxxxxxx> and Xiphophorus
Report bugs to paranoia@xxxxxxxx http://www.xiph.org/paranoia/
Ripping from sector 2727 (track 2 [0:00.00]) to sector 11518 (track 2 [1:57.16])
outputting to 2.wav
(== PROGRESS == [ *| 011518 00 ] == :^D * ==)
Done.
NOTE. while reading: :-) Normal operation, low/no jitter
So trying 'paranoia' on/off with a couple of CD's (all through x-cd-roast):
1) pure audio CD, paranoia on = OK
2) pure audio CD, paranoia off = bad
3,4) mixed audio/data CD, paranoia on/off = bad - it tries to read the data track first and fails,
and I think it used to work under RH9.
The only other thing is that the audio reading is very slow, reading at 1x. I don't remember
it being super fast before, I thought it was faster, but it could just be the same speed.
Under RH9, I didn't use paranoia mode, but at least now I can read audio CD's again.
I still think there is a problem with 'readcd' - if anyone wants to look into this, just tell me
what test/log files you want.
Thanks, John.
