![]() ![]() ![]() The bug has been reported in Debian's bug tracker, is already fixed upstream, and at some point the fixed version should arrive in Debian. Fortunately it's a 100% straightforward install which I'll outline for those who are not used to installing from source. One package needs to be compiled from source because the version in the Debian repos has a serious bug. Luckily this is very fast and a no brainer, flac -d *.flac, but it might be considered an extra step. When you're ready to burn a CD from your archive you need to convert the flacs to wav. If you want that Sony XCP copy protection and win32 rootkit preserved, or if you like to play your heavy metal CD backwards to hear messages from the devil in hidden sectors then this method won't work. It doesn't deal with mixed-mode CDs (though it probably could be adapted to do so), or with anything other than the audio. You may be happier using cdrdao to make bin+toc and forgoing the space saving of lossless compression.Īdvantages & Disadvantages of this Method ![]() If you need to back up non-audio content or you worry about hearing the difference between 0.25 and 0.3 seconds of silence at the end or at the beginning of your audio CDs then this howto is not for you. The aim of this howto is not to make a bit for bit identical copy of the physical CD. If the original was gapless the copy must also play back identically on a regular home/car/personal CD player. It must have the same gaps between tracks as the original if there are gaps on the original. The aim is to extract the digital audio, to store it using lossless compression to save disk space and to be able to burn a CD which sounds identical. I'm assuming you've used various CD rippers and know why you don't like them and are at least vaguely familiar with CDDB/freedb and audio tagging.ġ: Rip an audio CD, without loss of audio quality, to individual tracks.Ģ: Losslessly compress the ripped audio and number, name and tag the files.ģ: Be able to use those files to burn an audio CD that sounds identical to the original and plays in any CD player.Ĥ: Be able to do this on any GNU/Linux distribution and regardless of Desktop Environment/Window Manager etc.ĥ: Get it set up so you don't have to remember stuff! The howto is aimed at Debian users of any level who like to use the terminal, appreciate automation and like to hear the music the way it was on the original CD. ![]() This Howto is for Debian Lenny but should work equally well in any version of Debian from Etch onwards. ![]()
