cdparanoia

libparanoia is the foundation of the project and does most of the work, whereas the application cdparanoia is merely an application frontend to libparanoia. The current stable release of the library is Paranoia III. cdparanoia is thorough about getting every bit from a CD, but can be slower than other CD rippers due to this.{{Cite book |last=Oxer |first=Jonathan |url=https://www.google.com/books/edition/Ubuntu_Hacks/HZ37FT3unW8C |title=Ubuntu Hacks: Tips & Tools for Exploring, Using, and Tuning Linux |last2=Rankin |first2=Kyle |last3=Childers |first3=Bill |date=2006-06-14 |publisher="O'Reilly Media, Inc." |isbn=978-0-596-55146-9 |pages=125 |language=en}} A live output is displayed to show how long is left.{{Cite book |last=Rankin |first=Kyle |url=https://www.google.com/books/edition/Linux_Multimedia_Hacks/MaebAgAAQBAJ |title=Linux Multimedia Hacks: Tips & Tools for Taming Images, Audio, and Video |date=2006 |publisher="O'Reilly Media, Inc." |isbn=978-0-596-10076-6 |pages=67 |language=en}} It can save the audio from discs as WAV, AIFF, AIFF-C, or raw format files.

Several programs provide a graphical frontend to cdparanoira, such as RubyRipper{{Cite web |last=Serrano |first=Matt |date=2009-01-06 |title=Audio Archiving Guide: Part 2 – CD Ripping – Techgage |url=https://techgage.com/article/audio_archiving_guide_part_2_-_cd_ripping/3/ |access-date=2025-03-30 |website=TechGage |language=en-US}} or Sound Juicer.{{Cite web |last=Garrison |first=Justin |date=2010-06-23 |title=Rip Audio CDs in Linux with Sound Juicer |url=https://www.howtogeek.com/20126/rip-audio-cds-with-sound-juicer/ |access-date=2025-03-30 |website=How-To Geek |language=en}}

One of the quirks of cdparanoia is that its ripping status is indicated by an emoticon. As per the cdparanoia manual, the following emoticons are used:

:-) Normal operation, low/no jitter

:-| Normal operation, considerable jitter

:-/ Read drift

:-P Unreported loss of streaming in atomic read operation

8-| Finding read problems at same point during re-read; hard to correct

:-0 SCSI/ATAPI transport error

:-( Scratch detected

;-( Gave up trying to perform a correction

8-X Aborted read due to known, uncorrectable error
