Goals

Slowly develop a process that will allow the ripping of optical discs without requiring something like Handbrake, k3b, or other graphical ripping software, but rather able to work from the command line.

Notes:

2026 January 7

Trying to get this working from start to finish, got stuck trying to figure out how to properly identify the disc in the drive, it was sort of, "at the tip of my brain, but not coming out," so decided to look at just ripping an audio CD.

Looking at that, I thought cdparanoia but abcde are installed, in the end I looked at abcde and found it "sort of works" out of the box, but wasn't finding the CDDB information, a quick search it will find it, and a former developer said what the settings should be.

This does very much what I'm looking for in terms of audio ripping (most of what I do), so this project probably will be essentially that, for now at least.
