Sounds like cdda2wav isn't coping with the copy protection, which is odd, it usually doesn't have any problems with it when I use it, what version are you using? Mine is cdda2wav version 2.01a19_linux_2.6.8-1.541smp_i686_i686, and it handles all CD's fine.


I am using what came with SW7.1 cdrtools, which appears to be 1.9.2.
SW8.1 seems to have 1.11a24. I did not find source code for a later version (or a cdda2wav home page). What libc is your version compiled for?

Mine is compiled for glibc2.

Slackware 7.1 has glibc 2.1.3, Slackware 8.1 glibc 2.2.5, etc. Which glibc2? Where did you get it, as a package or did you compile your own?

I have not found anything on the CD or cover about copy protection.


Ok, well I have one that has a copy protection logo on the back and it won't even PLAY on all but one of my computers.


What does it look like?

It's a circle with a triangle on the right hand side of the triangle that has a 'C' in it.

I don't find that but I did find two circles with C and P in them on both CDs I have here.


Indeed, I lack a cable like that too, and I can't play CD's.

We don't lack a cable, it was just not playing through it one day.
Would you like me to send you a cable? We have extras. You can plug your speakers in through the jack in front of most CD drives.

No, I have one, its just I have a slim CD-ROM drive that doesn't have one of those connectors, it will only play CD music through the onboard sound which has unfortunately died on my computer.

Can you disable onboard sound and put in a card, or is this a laptop?


I was going to ask why a Windows music CD copier (Nero) worked when the linux cdda2wav did not - Nero must also have bypassed the copy protection.
Are there newer CDs that the newer cdda2wav still cannot handle?

Besides the one that won't play with my drive (it's the physical drive's fault, it doesn't work in DOS/Windows either), I've been able to rip all of my CD's without issues with my new version of cdda2wav. By the way, I use the GRIP frontend to cdda2wav.


I ran across mention of that. It was also not working on copyprotected CDs because cdda2wav was not working. I am happy with CLI now that I figured out how to use it.
