It's working great on my 2.0.22 kernel with NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:273 (ATAPI). Anyway, I noticed that you're dumping out cddb query info, but not doing the query yet, so I hacked a quick perl program to do it. If you run with a default extraction like this: cdda2wav -B -D /dev/hda then run the program included something like this: cddbhack.pl ma.us.cddb.com 8880 < audio.cddb It looks up the names, and creates a file "rename.sh" which can be used to rename all the audio_XX.wav files to a nice name. Anyway, thought you might find it useful, feel free to include in your next beta distribution or not. Sorry if I made any stupid perl mistakes, I only just learned it last week. I would have done it in C or python but I need to learn perl for another job... Cheers, -billo Bill O'Donnell Independent Software Developer billo@billo.com http://www.billo.com
