cdda2track - extract audio files
Contents
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.

Description
cdda2track extracts audio files from a compact disc and encodes them to tracks. If track numbers are
given, extracts only those tracks. Otherwise, extracts the entire disc.
Example
Extract all of the tracks from /dev/cdrom as FLAC files at the default quality:
cdda2track -t flac -c /dev/cdrom
Extraction Options
-t, --type=TYPE
The audio format of the extracted audio tracks. For a list of available audio formats, try: -t
help.
-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.

new tracks are created. All other text is left as-is. If this option is omitted, a default format
string is used.
