Hi Reid,
I assume that this is a data CD, so you can just mount it and access
the files. To convert to wav, you could use sox (apt-get install sox)
or sndfile-convert (apt-get install sndfile-programs). Both determine
the desired format from the extension, so something like
sox /media/cdrom/foo.aiff /some/path/foo.wav
should do the trick.
If you want to batch convert all files, maybe do something like
cd /media/cdrom
for file in *.aiff; do sox $file /some/path/`echo $file | sed s/aiff/
wav/`; done
(other solutions with find, xargs, basename come to mind)

Hello group -
I'm a pretty experienced linux \ ubuntu user trying to rip a CD with
.aiff files and convert them to some format that more easily
understood
by some of my not-so-high-tech audio equipment. A .wav format comes
to
mind but I'm flexible.
Do you know of utility that will do this? I tried GRIP and even
loaded
flac, but probably got it wrong. Just FYI the disc is readable and
plays (.aiff format and all) with Rhythymbox, so I know that much
works :->
many thanks
Reid
