Hello,

first and best tool for recovering data from copy protected or otherwise
broken (so-called) CDs is to use the command line cdparanoia.
Well, so I did:
$ cdparanoia --verbose --batch "1-"
It has ripped, reporting no errors, And the clicks still seem to be
there!
Of course there's that chance that the clicks are actually a bad
recording, not copy protection. But it's not so likely; the recording is
not old (1997) and clains to use cool "20-bit recording" technology.
Actually I did think at first that the "20-bit" are at fault; but the
HDCD logo is not present, so apparently this is just a mastrering
technique, and the disk is supposed to be an ordinary CD?
Anyway, are there other tools to try and read it with error correction,
or perhaps cdparanoia options that I could have overlooked?

"man cdparanoia" for details

Hello,
I have purchased a CD that seems to be copy protected. When I play it,
using XMMS and digital playback, it's rather noisy/clicky.
I'd still like to play it, either directly, or by reading to disk first.
As I understand, I need some software that would implement Reed-Solomon
correction, as done in usual CD players. Is any such software available?
Preferrably for Linux, of course.
Yours, Mikhail Ramendik
