 Posted: Sun Apr 02, 2006 8:57 pm Post subject: Audio CD rip SLOW! |
 |
|
After searching these forums, checking available packages and package settings, cdrom settings, and pulling a few hairs out, I am posting.
I am unable to rip audio cd's at any convenient speed.
I have a:
P3 750, 512MB RAM, 20GB HD, CD-ROM F564E (52X speed) running the 2.6.13 gentoo kenel.
I have tried the following programs to rip an audio cd to mp3. (I'm using mp3's for my rio mp3 player)
abcde, ripperX, konqueror audiocd:, kaudiocreator, and a few other command tools that escape me right now.
ALL are EXTREMELY SLOW, and are clearly not working properly. In the case of konqueror audiocd:, which is running as I type, will transfer at anywhere from 1.0 Kb/s to 240 Kb/s and stall for random amounts of time at random intrevals. This behavior happens for any and all ripping/encoding programs I try. This 1 file will likely take the order of 2~ HOURS . UNACCEPTABLE!!!!
I have covered my bases ( I think) w/ cdparanoia, lame, cdrom dma settings (both enabled and not, no difference)....
top shows kio_audiocd peaking at 30% cpu usage. I am fairly sure its not the drive, because i can browse backed up data cd's without problem or speed.
I am at witts end here and will gladly accept any suggestions presented. |

Try using cdda2wav instead and see the diffrence. Also you may try cdmp3 - a commnad line ripper  There was cdparanoia ebuild on bugzilla but for me it don't work:( I preffer cdda2wav It's faster. |

| The Konqueror AudioCD kioslave works wonderfully, but it is way too slow for me. Grip works great though. |

I went ahead and emerged cdmp3 and dl'ed the source for cdda2wav.
I could never get cdda2wav to finish 'Make'. Gave me a bunch of
| Code: |
"/usr/src/linux/include/linux/****:##: warning: traditional C rejects ISO C style function definitions"
|
errors on various compiler files (?).
cdmp3 emerged fine and started to process the audio cd , but after letting it sit there for 2 hours, it never completed 1 file, and I ended killing the process.
The pattern that is being shown here isn't applicatin specific. Its system specific. I need to figure out 'what isn't working'!!!!
At this point I am not going to install any more applications as I don't see that helping.
How do I begin to track down what the 'REAL' issue is here??? |

Use cdparanoia. I use a Perl program called "rip" (it's in portage) that is a convenient wrapper for cdparanoia and various encoders. If you use the -v option for rip, you will get a verbose output from cdparanoia that might give you a good idea if there are problems ripping cd's on your drive.
I have 2 cd drives. One of them takes just about forever to rip (literally hours) and some cd's would never finish. The cdparanoia output for this drive showed a multitude of problems and errors. There were always problems ripping with this drive, it never worked right.
I've got another cd drive and it rips just fine. The verbose cdparanoia output consistently shows no errors or problems.
IMO, if cdparanoia is having problems ripping cds on your cd drive, the only real solution is to get an different drive. |

Cdda2wav is a part of cdrtools:)
| Code: |
equery belongs cdda2wav
[ Searching for file(s) cdda2wav in *... ]
app-cdr/cdrtools-2.01-r3 (/usr/bin/cdda2wav)

Yes, I am well aware of that as it was obvious during the emerge!
BitJam,
At this point I'm thinking its the drive or the kernel, and leaning more towards the drive, as I was able to rip audio on a former drive some 3-4 months back. I haven't upgraded the kernel since then, so it would suggest the drive.
In that event, is there any way to test the drive to see if has I/O issues or just confirm the damn drive can function as I'm wanting?? Possibly 'cat' out a cd to .iso or something ??? Suggestions welcome ..... |

Use cdparanoia as I suggested above. IMO, that is the best way to check your drive. The docs on their web site are quite good. If you still don't believe me, read their FAQ.
There are non-trivial technical hurdles to reading a cd correctly. It is not nearly so easy as doing a "cat" or a "dd". The cdparanoia FAQ does a good job of explaining all of this. |

Might be an idea to check your disk with 'hdparm -tT /dev/hdx'..

This first hdparm can't be good.

Here is a little more info on the drive.

Although I'd like to solve this, I'm just about ready to toss it and put in another rom. |

I get that same output from that command on both my cdrom drives with and without an audio cd inserted. One of the drives rips just fine. |

| Try the -r3 ebuild of cdparanoia (currently still masked ~x86). It should work better. You need a kernel >= 2.6.15 for the patches to be applied. |
