I am trying to rip some CDs to ogg, and it seems that my Alpha can't figure
out what to do with audio discs. I can mount data CD's fine, but the system
seems to pretend that audio CDs don't exist. The drive is a Sony 12x24x40
CD-RW, which has never given me a problem before, even on this machine. I
had to rebuild the system after losing a hard drive, and now this occurs. Is
this a kernel problem, or an application problem? SInce the hardware hasn't
changed, except for the HDD, it's gotta be in software, right?
if you're just ripping, then cdparanoia should get it for you. you need
sg in the kernel (either module or statically linked)
cdparanoia -vsQ will search for all drives (with CDs in them)
You're going to need the sg module loaded to rip audio. Make sure that
as a user you have group read access at least to the sgX device at which
the cd lives. This is of course assuming that the drive is SCSI.
