Why use cdparanoia?

Enlighten us, is cdparanoia a new Stephen King movie?

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.

I thought jewel cases were the best thing since the Mason Lid and I don't 
believe I'm a wimp.
Yes, 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.

Wonder why Mac people never experience that problem...Last year I made CDs 
of some old amateur LP recordings of the Williamsburg U. Choir.  They were 
full of clicks and pops that cleaned up very well with Premiere and Peak.  
Also Toast Titanium Pro has never failed to give me a playable CD--and I 
mean playable on any computer, any car stereo and any Dolby surroundsound.  
I have never had to toss a coaster into the trash.

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

Yeh, Stevie Ray sounds pretty good too...

  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.

Why guess?  Use Mac type software.  Also, why depend entirely on software to 
clean up scratches?  Are you against doing some of the editing yourself?

I think we all are attempting to understand the reason for your bitterness.  
Do you have to use a MicroHard type machine at work?  If so I know I speak 
for all of us in expressing sympathy.
