[paranoia] Extracting the MDH-Soundtrack ...

[Richard Gellman]

the old 80 minute cd problem again
certain CD drives have big problems reading 80 minute cds. the DAE (digital
audio extraction)
often results in errors on the last 2 or 3 tracks and a slow ripping
process.

Some rare cd players also have the same problem reading 80 minute cds, and
have a tendency to
skip over parts of the tracks. CD paranoia treats this as 'jitter' and tries
to correct it (hence
it takes longer).

The only solution it seems is either upgrade the cd drive firmware (risky,
not guaranteed to work)
or change your cd drive.

Subject: [paranoia] Extracting the MDH-Soundtrack ...

Hi all,

ince I don't know _exactly_ what this mailinglist is all about, please
let me know if my question is OT!

I'd tried to extract the ``Million Dollar Hotel''-Soundtrack (U2) from
an original CD (german release) when I get some serious problems at the
2nd last track until the last track. cdparanoia gives up to correct the
data ;-(, the process becomes *very* slow and the progress bar symbol is
an V. Similiar probs with cdrdao ...

Well, I guess this is a new method of copy protection, anybody else has
similiar experiences with the same or other CD's? BTW an older HIFI
cdplayer (Sony) of a friend has some problems with playing these tracks
correctly.

My burner is a IDE Ricoh 7040A with the ide-scsi simulation, loaded as
module. I'm using cdparanoia version III release alpha 9.6 on a SuSE
6.2, Kernel 2.2.10.

Thanks, Pablo

P.S.: Please let me know if this is the wrong place to ask such
questions or if you've already discussed this!
