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 (!)
CD ripping
- Optional cdparanoia mode

Supported formats

Only uncompressed formats:

WAV
AU (Sun PCM)
CDR (raw)

Supported languages
