For some reason or other I currently don't have a tower PC with a CD-ROM drive connected, or even an available slot.
But I have this 2004 nx7010 laptop which has a hopefully functional CD Writer.
# dmesg | grep ^cd
Yep, it shows up. For some reason I have not yet found out you need to use
cd0c though and not cd0.
This just works, as cdio is preinstalled:
# sudo cdio -f cd0c cdrip
And then you have a couple of track0x.wav.
Unfortunately the cddbinfo instead of cdrip does not work anymore. Shame.
And while I have not tested it, writing them should work like this:
cdio -f cd0c tao -a -s auto *.wav
Bonus:
cdio -vv info

Addendum: Because that machine is slow I did the actual conversion on Linux:
for i in $(ls /data/mp3/wav/ALBUM/*wav); do
echo $i;
o=$(basename $i | sed 's,wav,flac,');
ffmpeg -i $i $o;
done
parallel -j 4 ffmpeg -i {} -qscale:a 0 {.}.mp3 ::: ./*.flac
Could've parallelized the first one if they were in the same dir, whatever.
According to this page, the
-qscale:a 0 is the -V 0 arg to lame, aka: VBR 220-260, the best
that is not a fixed 320kbit/s bitrate.
easytag + gnudb works for tagging the FLACs, and they get copied to the MP3s.
