[Libcdio-devel] Paranoia and CD-Extra

[David Stockwell]

Ripping a CD in CD-Extra format (with links to a website following the last track, I find that cdio-paranoia continues to read the track beyond the end of the track until it hits the "Extra" portion, recording everything thereafter as a "skip". This appears to be a known problem with Paranoia.

 

FWIW, I am using cdio_paranoia_read_limited, with a callback to report the status, so I do know what is going on.  In reading the track, I am seeking the first LSN of the track, then looping through the track from the first LSN to the last, similar to the following:

 

for (lsn_t lsnCurr=lsnFirst; lsnCurr<=lsnLast; ++lsnCurr) {

    pParaBuffer = cdio_paranoia_read_limited(pParanoia, cbParanoia, 20);

}

 

So, why am I reading past the end of the last track?

 

Looking at the includes, I see a call to cdio_paranoia_set_range(pParanoia, {beginning LSN}, {ending LSN}) which is not really documented, but appears to set limits on how far paranoia will read.

 

Including that call in my source, I get a good compile, but the link fails with "undefined reference to cdio_paranoia_set_range".

 

I have installed 0.78 into /usr/local (the basic distro includes 0.77 in /usr).

 

Finally, this is the only disk I cannot read/rip, so I believe it has to do with strangeness from this format.

 

Any help?
