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

Hi!
Is it a normal audio-CD? If so you could just take cdda2wav or cdparanoia or
whatever. .wav is the easiest to get there. Don't worry about what your GUI
tells you, I seem to remember that KDE was able to show cddas playing as .aiff
and similar.
If your "disk" is a data disk with .aiff files, than take sndfile-convert or
ecaconvert (which comes with ecasound/ecatools).
for F in *.aiff; do
ecaconvert .wav $F;
done
or even:
ecaconvert .wav *.aiff
With sndfile-convert:
for F in *.aiff; do
sndfile-convert "$F" "$F".wav;
done
If your files are not pcm16 you better give a special encoding option like
this:
sndfile-convert -pcmu8 in.aiff out.wav
I suppose you know how to find out the encoding.
HTH.
Kindest regards
Julien

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)

I am asking this question after reading some of the replies...
So, this is a data disk with .aiff files on it and not a standard CD, correct?

Thanks for all your help folks.
Yes I think I screwed up when I originally the created CD.... :-> I
borrowed a friend's CD original and during the course of a work day
hurriedly copied the contends to the "burn folder" on my MAC and
executed, not really thinking of the outcome. It probably built a data
CD and that may explain my issue. Arg...but I have gotten some good
ideas.
Much obliged.
