cdparanoia is Compact Disc Digital Audio (CDDA) extraction tool (or ripper)

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install cdparanoia on Fedora 34.

What is `cdparanoia`

Cdparanoia (Paranoia III) reads digital audio directly from a CD, then writes the data to a file or pipe in WAV, AIFC or raw 16 bit linear PCM format. Cdparanoia doesn’t contain any extra features (like the ones included in the cdda2wav sampling utility). Instead, cdparanoia’s strength lies in its ability to handle a variety of hardware, including inexpensive drives prone to misalignment, frame jitter and loss of streaming during atomic reads. Cdparanoia is also good at reading and repairing data from damaged CDs.
