Hi Trey,

if all you want to do is extract the music data to files there should be
several programs to do that for you.  cdparanoia  is the one I prefer, 
cdda2wav  an other.  Perhaps  grip  can be used to just rip the music
although it is intended for converting/compressing them to mp3.

Why do you want to do this, just to be able to play them without having
the cd inserted or to further process the songs?

Best regards,
