Free audio cd extractor software for linux

MDF audio extracter project is a tool to extract audio data from MDF/MDS audio cd images to wav or raw files. Tracks will be extracted to the current directory and named track_[num].wav or track_[num].raw. Output can also be redirected to stdout to allow the audio data to be fed to an encoder or player directly.
You need both a .mds and .mdf file to be able to extract tracks. The .mds file contains the information about the tracks, while the .mdf file contains the actual data. They usually should have the same name (except for the extension ofcourse). This is case sensitive, so for example FileName is not the same as filename.
Usage: mdfextract [options] file.mds
Options:
-i output mds info instead of extracting
-r extract raw track data
-s output to stdout instead of file
-t < num > extract single track (num > 0)
-q quiet, no output
Version restrictions:
- Probably does not work on big endian archs.

Flat File Extractor can be used for reading different flat file structures and printing them in different formats. ffe is a command line tool developed in GNU/Linux environment and it is distributed under GNU General Public License 2 or later.
Main areas of use are:
- Extracting particular fields or records from a flat file
- Converting data from one format to an other, e.g. from CSV to fixed length
- Verifying a flat file structure
- Testing tool for flat file development
- Displaying flat file content in human readable form
Main features:
- Command-line tool
- Reads standard input and writes to standard output as default
- One input file can contain several types of records (lines)
- Fields in a flat file can be fixed length or separated
- Input file structure and output definitions are independent, meaning one output format can be used with several input files
- Input file structure and output format are freely configurable, they are not predefined
- Output can be formatted e.g. as: fixed length, separated, tokenized, XML, SQL,...
- ffe tries to guess the input format, user needs not to give it as a parameter
Enhancements:
- Configuration keyword const has been added

AudioCD is a Perl module for basic Audio CD control.

SYNOPSIS

use AudioCD;
# see below

See AudioCD::Mac for more information. Right now, this module has support only for MacPerl. Please feel free to write other modules for Your Favorite Platform and let me know about it.

Audio::CD is a Perl interface to libcdaudio (cd + cddb).

SYNOPSIS

use Audio::CD ();
my $cd = Audio::CD->init;

Audio::CD provides a Perl interface to libcdaudio by Tony Arcieri, available from http://cdcd.undergrid.net/

Several classes provide glue for the libcdaudio functions and data structures.

Audio::CD Class ^

init

Initialize the Audio::CD object:
my $cd = Audio::CD->init;

stat

Stat the Audio::CD object, returns an Audio::CD::Info object.
my $info = $cd->stat;

cddb

Returns an Audio::CDDB object.
my $cddb = $cd->cddb;

play

Play the given cd track (defaults to 1).
$cd->play(1);

stop

Stop the cd.
$cd->stop;

pause

Pause the cd.
$cd->pause;

resume

Resume the cd.
$cd->resume;

eject

Eject the cd.
$cd->eject;

close

Close the cd tray.
$cd->close;

play_frames

$cd->play_frames($startframe, $endframe);

play_track_pos

$cd->play_track_pos($strarttrack, $endtrack, $startpos);

play_track

$cd->play_track($strarttrack, $endtrack);

track_advance

$cd->track_advance($endtrack, $minutes, $seconds);

advance

$cd->advance($minutes, $seconds);

get_volume

Returns an Audio::CD::Volume object.

my $vol = $cd->get_volume;

set_volume

$cd->set_volume($vol);

AuCDtect - is a free console program for determining the authenticity of musical CDs. By evaluating the character of audio data a CD contains, Tau Analyzer can distinguish between original studio-based recordings and those that have been "reconstructed" using a lossy audio source, such as MP3. Its a console application and is freeware.
This program could determine authenticity of a musical CD records, stored in WAV format, using the character of the audio data it contains, and predicts its possible source - is it an
original record or a reconstruction from a lossy encoded music file (for example, MP3).
Enhancements:
- Program should work little bit faster;
- Supports disk conclusion mode over the set of tracks (-d key);
- Decreased error level while processing strongly hardware-compressed; studio records - now makes less errors;
- Small algorithm improvements.

WOMP! is a micro linux distribution focussed on multimedia. Basically, it takes only 13 to 30 MB depending on the selected options on a bootable CD, and allow playing a wide range of multimedia files (video/audio/image) without installing any software on the computers hard drive.
Additionnally, WOMP! can also be installed on the hard drive either to run in memory just like a bootable CD, or to run from a read-only loopback file which is interesting for machines with low memory. It can the be booted either by a floppy bootdisk or by a bootable CD (in that case it will only take 1.5MB on the CD leading all remaining space for multimedia files.
WOMP! uses the FrameBuffer for playing videos and X for interacting with the user. Hardware acceleration is provided by vidix. Cards that support vidix include nearly all ATI and Matrox cards, also NVidia in last release. Nevertheless even not accelerated, provided the processor is sufficiently recent there will be no problems playing divx files in fullscreen.
Main features:
Play DVD
- Select title
- Select angle
- Select language
- Select subtitle

Play Video files
- A wide range of video formats and codecs are supported, non exhaustive list include Avi, Mov, Matroska, Ogm for containers, DivX5, XviD etc for codecs.
Subtitles :
- Text subtitles are rendered with some fixed fonts or with scalable truetype fonts.
- Subtitles from Matroska (mkv) and Ogm are availables
- External text subtitles
- Vobsub subtitles are also supported

Hardware :
- Support usb-storage devices (USB keys/pen cameras zip)
- Support most soundcard either by Alsa or OSS
- Mouse : usb,ps2,serial

- etc
Enhancements:
- Very minor update -> added russian and portuguese translation.
- To update womp-0.6-beta2, replace the wompmem.bz2 file by the one in this release.
- To update womp-0.6-beta2-devel, unpack ( tar xjf ) update0.6beta3.tar.bz2 in the rootbase.
- Will add the loopback file when I have time!

Cdrdao records audio or data CD-Rs in disk-at-once (DAO) mode based on a textual description of the CD contents (toc-file).
Recording in disk-at-once mode writes the complete disc, i.e. lead-in, one or more tracks and lead-out, in a single step. The commonly used track-at-once (TAO) mode writes each track independently which requires link blocks between two tracks.
Older CD-recorder models forced a two second pause (pre-gap) between two tracks whereas newer models allow adjusting of the pause length in TAO mode reducing the number of link blocks to a minimal amount.
However, with TAO it is generally not possible to define the data that is written in pre-gaps. But exactly this feature makes audio CD recording interesting, e.g. by creating hidden bonus tracks or track intros in pre-gaps like it is common habit on commercial CDs.
Finally, DAO recording is the only way to write data to the unused R-W sub-channels for e.g. CD-G or CD-TEXT.
Main features:
- Full control over length and contents of pre-gaps (pause areas between tracks). Pre-gaps may be completely omitted, e.g. for dividing live recordings into tracks.
- Control over sub-channel data like:
- catalog number
- copy, pre-emphasis, 2-/4-channel flags
- ISRC code
- index marks
- Support for exact audio, data and mixed mode CD copying.
- Support for R-W sub-channel writing.
- Tracks may be composed of different audio files supporting non destructive cut.
- Accepts WAVE and raw audio files.
- CD-TEXT reading and writing with drives that support it.
- CDDB access to automatically create CD-TEXT data.
- Support for on-the-fly copying.
Enhancements:
- Added device locking for win32 (Giuseppe Corbelli)
- Man page cleanup (Andrew Suffield)
GCDMaster changes:
- Fixed GCC 4.1 compilation issues
- Fixed hang when inserting WAV file
