icedax lets you digitally copy ("rip") audio tracks from a CD, avoiding the distortion that is introduced when recording via a sound card. Data can be dumped into raw (cdr), wav or sun format sound files. Options control the recording format (stereo/mono; 8/16 bits; sampling rate, etc).

It is a Debian spinoff of the cdda2wav program, forked because of a change in the cdrtools license to CDDL, incompatible with the GPL.

Features

  • It can echo the sound to the soundcard as it rips, optionally changing the pitch of the echoed sound (!)
  • Optional cdparanoia mode
  • Reads CD-Text and CD-Extra info and writes .cddb and .cdindex files suitable for submission to FreeDB/GnuDB and MusicBrainz.
