The errors reported by cdda2wav may be reported by cdparanoia as a smiley that pops up for less than a second and then disappears.
Are you sure those smileys won't get into the log file? I just tried a track of a CD which got errors in _all_ tracks with cdda2wav (it's one of a boxed set, and it is the only one that has this problem, bad quality control, I suppose). I didn't set the speed and I didn't move my eyes from the xterm. $ cdparanoia -L -l -d /dev/sr0 1 It didn't show anything wrong, just a '>' moving forward and ':-)' at the right side, which was substituted by ':^D' when finished. cdparanoia III release 10.2 (September 11, 2008) Ripping from sector 0 (track 1 [0:00.00]) to sector 27216 (track 1 [6:02.66]) outputting to cdda.wav (== PROGRESS == [ | 027216 00 ] == :^D * ==) Done. This was the log from cdda2wav: 100% track 1 recorded with minor problems (1.4% problem sectors) 100% 0 rderr, 0 skip, 0 atom, 383 edge, 1 drop, 0 dup, 1 drift 100% 371 overlap(0.5612 .. 40.29) Jorge
