Why use cdparanoia?
All CDROM drives are not created equal. You'll need cdparanoia if yours 
is a little less equal than others-- or maybe you just keep your CD 
collection in a box of full of gravel. Jewel cases are for wimps; you 
know what I'm talking about.

   Yes I do, your software is for schmucks.

Unfortunately, cdda2wav and readcdda cannot work properly with a large 
number of CDROM drives in the desktop world today. The most common 
problem is sporadic or regular clicks and pops in the read sample, 
regardless of 'nsector' or 'overlap' settings.


listening to "drifting" by jimi hendrix. Zero funny noises.

  Cdda2wav also cannot do anything about scratches (and they can cause 
cdda2wav to break). Cdparanoia is also smarter about probing CDDA 
support from SCSI and IDE-SCSI drives; many drives that do not work at 
all with cdda2wav, readcdda, tosha, etc, will work just fine with 
cdparanoia.


Of course if your player works fine and you don't hear any noises then 
you're just paranoid.
