fre:ac VS CDDA paranoia

Just take that lossless track and encode it to 320kbps Vorbis using a good quality encoder (Foobar or freac). Then load both the files into any ABX comparison tool. It will load both samples then shuffle them so X/Y are random and you have to tell it which you think is A and which you think is B. Source: about 1 year ago

Evidently this will work (though sadly no Linux version): https://freac.org/. Source: over 2 years ago

I remember back in the day using https://xiph.org/paranoia/ for ripping. Tons of burned cds that eventually were tossed in favor of Spotify. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

The simplest way if you just want the music off it is to use something like cdparanoia on linux (or similar like EAC), and compress with FLAC. Use a drive that's in the accuraterip database if you want to be sure. But that won't capture pre-gap info so if you take those files and burn them back to a disc it won't be exactly the same.

I usually rely on cdparanoia, which claims accuracy, but not speed. https://xiph.org/paranoia/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
