New Record Resurrects Long-Dead CD Graphics Format
My #audiocd ripping project is going fine.
Today: Ran into a box set that I bought in the late 1990s. Whoops! The first CDs I've found in the pile that had disc rot. All 3 discs were yellowed, two of them were translucent.
Ripped fine though.
Haven't listened to all of them so I don't know if it affects the quality and to what extent (plus the music is analog era rock, so this isn't 100% pristine anyway), but yeah, #cdparanoia bloody rules if it can handle this stuff.

Third batch of ripping all of my #music CDs to #FLAC format.
Was about to say "...and Tubular Bells" and end there. But then I realised I had a few video game CDs too. Might as well rip them. Okay. I still have about half of my collection to go, so I guess I need a bit of a rest now. Especially when the rest will no doubt have some headachey entries because there's a few obscure cheapo collection box sets and such.
Weird #archival thought processes:
Okay, so, there's plenty of #audioCD rippers available for Linux. (I'm using K3B for my own CD archival project.)
But, hmmmm... are there still any working #CD rippers on Windows that could rip CDs to WAV (or preferrably FLAC)?
🤦🏻♀️ ...Yes there is, and *for some godforsaken reason*, the answer appears to be #iTunes.
Bet you never saw that coming! Unless you're an oldbie like me and just went "ohhh shit, that tracks"
