SYNOPSIS

cdda2track [OPTIONS] [track 1] [track 2] ...

EXTRACTION OPTIONS

-t, --type=TYPE

-q, --quality=QUALITY

The desired quality of the extracted tracks. For a list of available quality modes for a given format, try: -q help

-d, --dir=DIRECTORY

The target directory for the extracted tracks. If none is given, the current working directory is used. If the target directory does not exist, it will be created automatically.

--format=STRING

CD LOOKUP OPTIONS

--musicbrainz-server=HOSTNAME

the MusicBrainz server name to query for metadata

--musicbrainz-port=PORT

the MusicBrainz port to query for metadata

--no-replay-gain

ACCURATERIP

Extracted tracks are automatically verified against AccurateRip’s online database. The confidence level is the number of other people who have the same rip, so a larger value indicates one’s own rip is consistent with those of others. However, not finding one’s rip in the AccurateRip database does not necessarily mean the rip is bad; the CD may be new, rare, or a different pressing than the one in the database.

EXAMPLE

Extract all of the tracks from /dev/cdrom as FLAC files at the default quality:

cdda2track -t flac -c /dev/cdrom
