    Hello list,

    FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE, using ripit.pl (audio/ripit) with lame and dagrab.

    I've got a (quite simple?) question which keeps me up at nights (not
    really :-).

    How do you rip those audio CDs that are "enhanced"? That's the CDs
    that have such fancy "multimedia" features you can use when you put
    the CD in a CD-ROM drive (under Windows of course), eg play some
    low-quality music video or navigate around some menus. I am of course
    not interested in any of those features, just want to make some MP3s
    from that CD so I can put them on my MP3 player.

    Here's the problem I have with every CD of that kind: I can rip every
    audio track except the last one, that is the track that comes before
    the data track on the CD, eg:

    Track 01: audio
    .
    .
    .
    Track 09: audio
    Track 10: data

    An example of such a CD is the "Rock in Rio" album by Iron Maiden.

    Ripping track 09 from the CD fails, no matter what ripper I use
    (dagrab, dd, cdparanoia, cdda2wav). Unfortunately I can't reproduce any
    error messages at the moment, but maybe someone knows what I mean? It
    basically stops reading after about 90% of the track and exists with an
    error message. Note: ripping and encoding normal CDs works like a
    charme, from the first to the last track.

    Using a Windows machine to rip an "enhanced" CD works of course, but
    I should be really surprised if such a task was impossible under
    FreeBSD.

    Does anybody have an idea? I'd appreciate any help.

    Thanks in advance.
