New version of CDParanoia III 10.2 Released

A new version of CDParanoia was released on September 11, 2008.  The current stable release version: cdparanoia III 10.2

cdparanoia 10.2 final released

10.2 is a substantial upgrade release over 10.1.

10.2 includes a raft of minor bugfixes in device scan, device autosense and the transport layer.

More importantly, 10.2 addresses serious CDROM drive cache modelling deficiencies that exist in earlier versions. In a nutshell, a sizable fraction of modern drives exhibit new and exciting readahead cache abuses/bugs of which older versions of cdparanoia were not fully aware. This means that skips and cracks could slip through the cache management strategy of older versions completely undetected. 10.2 fully addresses and models these new cache behaviors.

10.2 also includes a cache analysis option (-A) to do a slow and thorough offline check of the drive's cache behavior. The feature also dumps a detailed log to assist in debugging should either the test or cdparanoia's ripping go awry in any way. After all... better thoroughly safe than sorry.

I hope tmkk will use this release in XLD.  It seems that the CDParanois developers have found a solution for the drive cache issue.  This great news!

After reading this thread please check the XLD Master Thread List for other important XLD threads.

Is this going to be usable in OS X?

I know the developer had said he was only planning to develop 10.2 for Linux, and that's all I see in the downloads.

Someone will have port it over to the Mac.  I assume this will take some time if someone even wants to do it.  I hope so ripping on the Mac is so close to being equal to MS machines.

It might be Linux only because of the lack of cache disabling commands that have stopped others before, and so, not actually be portable.

Does the new release remove all concerns of using cdparanoia with a caching drive, or are there still other inherent problems? It seems like drive caching is one of the big negatives for cdparanoia based rippers.

tmkk has ported cdparanoia 10.2 to OS X. It's in today's XLD update:

Quote
Version 20080913:

Integrated cdparanoia-III 10.2 engine
Now the meaning of "Disable cache" checkbox has changed :
Off: Default. Faster and recommended for the drive with no audio cache.
On: Disable cache using the same way as cdparanoia-III 10.2 does. Very slow, but useful for the drive with audio cache.
Added "Check all items" and "Uncheck all items" in the context menu of the track list


I just updated XLD, and I can't wait to try out cdparanoia 10.2 tonight. It's been a long seven year wait for this release!

It should be. Some people will find something else to complain about next though. 


I would go and change this in the wiki, but the only problem is the developers of other applications that use cdparanoia will take about five years to upgrade to the newest version that fixes the caching problem that includes CDex as well.

Yes. He doesn't have time to update the webpage twice per day. XLD is updated *very* frequently, so you need to download the version listed and use Sparkle update thereafter.

Am I missing something?

Have you set prefs for auto update? I hate apps phoning home so with XLD do go to the menu item to check for updates. The webpage can't keep up with his rapid development. We're talking a coding maniac (known to have done more than a couple updates in a 24 hr. span).

I see. No haven't set that option, how could I? I'm not a Mac.

I'm just curious about the changes, i.e. changelog.

I wonder if the cache analysis option can be made to run on OS X? This would be a quite useful setup feature for XLD, to say the least.

I did just download the cdparanoia 10.2 src. I will see if the -A option will work from the command line.

Down load Version 20080822 of XLD if you not already done so.  Launch XLD and the auto update feature window should appear click yes to to install and relaunch XLD. 

Someone will have port it over to the Mac. I assume this will take some time if someone even wants to do it. I hope so ripping on the Mac is so close to being equal to MS machines.  Who said this oh yah that was me!  I should no known better after all we are talking about tmkk and XLD.  What a track record on updates, unbelievable speed!

As XLD is going through a very heavy development process, daily releases are not described by the developer as official (from what I understand), and as such they are not listed in the main XLD page...
For the release notes of the latest versions of XLD, always check this link...

Here's a dumb question I should know the answer to, but I don't. By design OS X does not allow an application to have direct access to hardware. (This is why it's impossible to issue an FUA command at the software level; you need to write a SCSI driver in order to do that.) My question is: does this same limitation apply to Darwin as well? I can't seem to find any info that denies or confirms that. I'm wondering at which level this limitation occurs. You'd think it would be easy to find the answer to this, but maybe I haven't looked quite hard enough yet.

FWIW, I'm ripping as we speak, using the latest XLD build with the defeat caching, and while slower than before it ain't all that slow, nor is it monopolizing my system (2.16 GHz Core2Duo 2 GB RAM, X 10.5.4). Am typing away quite happily as over 15 tabs are refreshing.

I notice that, too. It's only slightly slower with cache disabled. I've only tried a couple of samples so far, so haven't yet encountered any ripping quality differences between cache enabled and cache disabled.

Then again, I've never encountered a verifiable caching issue with any of my drives using any earlier cdparanoia build either.

What I was thinking (having read all your other posts here and elsewhere).

The drive certainly behaves a lot different now with cache disabled. I'm getting a massive slowdown in some damaged areas.

Can't wait to compare rips.

knucklehead are you using scratched or damaged CD's to force the error correction to work?  For instance lets say you  ripped a damaged CD with the old CDParanoia version and it did not report any errors in the log but clearly had audible problems(pops, clicks,etc.).  Now you  would try to rerip the same CD with new version of CDParanoia to find out if 1. The error correction solved the audible problems 2. If the log reports any errors that it did not before 3. If any of the rips are recognized by Accurate as ok  that were not before.  This might tell us if the ripping process is working differently than before.  I am definitively interested in what ever results you find so please post.

I re ripped a CD that I had trouble with using the the latest version of XLD with CDParanoia III 10.2 and the result was truly surprising.  All the tracks in the new rip were verified by AccurateRip and reports no errors in the log.  The original rip made by XLD with the old version CDParanoia had several tracks that could not by verified by AccurateRip and also did not report errors in log.  The same settings were used with both rips using the same hardware.

New version of CDParanoia III 10.2 Released

knucklehead are you using scratched or damaged CD's to force the error correction to work?  For instance lets say you  ripped a damaged CD with the old CDParanoia version and it did not report any errors in the log but clearly had audible problems(pops, clicks,etc.).  Now you  would try to rerip the same CD with new version of CDParanoia to find out if 1. The error correction solved the audible problems 2. If the log reports any errors that it did not before 3. If any of the rips are recognized by Accurate as ok  that were not before.  This might tell us if the ripping process is working differently than before.  I am definitively interested in what ever results you find so please post.

I’m using a CD I have that has some damage to the data layer - some wear, and one pretty good size hole.

I just had am "incident" with my computer where the rip choked on one track(at the big hole, I bet), and my CPU usage went to 100% and stayed there for 15 minutes or so. Stayed that way through quitting XLD, disconnecting the ripping drive, and several computer restarts. All without showing any corresponding process in the Activity Monitor?!?

Well, at least it eventually stopped...


It will take a while for me to get any meaningful comparisons ready.
I'll head to the library later to get some well beat up CD's for testing.

I'm sure at least a few people will be posting their findings over the next few days, and we'll start to get an idea of how well this is working.

This CD track number 9 had an audible pop when ripped with both versions old CDParanoia and new CDParanoia  modes.  The difference is that with new CDParanoia it take about 35 minutes to rip this one track as opposed approximately the time for the whole CD with old version CDParanoia.  Be advised the it was in version XLD 20080829  that added the option to veryfy suspicious sectors.  This information is obviously not in old rip log because it was not available as a feature at time of the rip.  The Statistic sections both rip logs differ.  Both tracks in the rip logs could not be verified with AccurateRip.  The audible pop was heard in the new rip.

New version of CDParanoia III 10.2 Released

Reply #24 –
Truly missing samples are truly missing.  If a sector is partially unrecoverable, the only thing you can do is software filtering after the fact.  There are software filters that do a good job (I designed some of them), and I do plan to add one to cdparanoia in the future.  Now that some drives report real C2 flags (as opposed to 2001-ish when many drives supported the feature by handing back bogus information that 'appoximated' the real data), there will be a more reliable way to do this than had originally been in Paranoia II, which I never added to Paranoia III because it just didn't work that well.

However, that will still be, in a sense, manufactured information.  I'm not really sure why you think you'd get 100% rip reproducability out of a disc with literal holes in the media!  The original pupose of cdparanoia is to make the drive behave, including getting a stable read (one that doesn't skip, even if it can't completely repair the damage) around media inconsistencies.  Even good drives will often skip on minor scratches that simple retry/compare fixes nicely. I haven't implemented the magic flag to make all heavy damage go away yet. I'm not actually being sarcastic here, some of the reconstruction filters are really damned good, if I can get reliable information from the read about which samples are suspect.

Oh, and FWIW, there are no magic FUA commands on modern IDE/SATA ATAPI/MMC drives.  There are commands in the command set (such as SET READAHEAD, 0xA7) that mandate specific cache side effects that *look* like they will be useful, but I've not found a drive yet that actually obeys the spec.  I didn't even bother adding the commands to 10.2 (although A7 was in SVN for testing for a little while).  Of my 10 main testing drives, 8 accepted the command.  7 then performed none of mandated cache side effects.  The eighth did.. something kinda random (flushed cache depending on how the request intersected, then completely spun down, or just ignored the command entirely).  I had one report from a beta tester that said the A7 command worked properly on his drive, but reduced its performance to around 2x before any of the retry/compare operations.  So... not acceptable.

Similarly, the various cache extents options avilable through MODE SET 10/12 nearly always only apply to data discs.  The requests are either rejected, or accepted but ignored for redbook discs.  I'm not sure how any other ripper thinks it's actually disabling the drive cache by flipping a switch.  Sure, the drives accept the commands, but if you actually check what the drive is doing, the commands *don't actually work on audio discs*.

So, cdparanoia 10,2 times every operation and compares the drive behavior to the cache model.  If a seek should have happened, but a read comes back in only 2ms, it knows that something went wrong.  No, this is not used a primary defense-- it's merely an additional safeguard on top of the new cache model (because the -A analysis is far too heavyweight to run before every rip and drive behaviors change from exact medium to exact medium.  A cyanine CDR may not be read the same way as an aluminum commercial pressing, etc...).
