Rip Rip Hooray! is a specialized audio CD-ripper optimized for track recovery.
It doesn’t beat a drive senseless every time a read error is encountered; it simply notes the problem and moves on. Its iterative design allows it to grab what it can, as it can, progressively filling in the gaps from run-to-run.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- C2 error pointers.
- Subchannel timecode synchronization.
- Drive read offset auto-detection.
- Drive read offset correction.
- AccurateRip checksum verification.
- CUETools checksum verification.
- HTOA (can rip the pre-gap track, if any).
- Cache busting.
- Sample re/confirmation.
- Backwards ripping.
- Good ol’ WAV output.
- Cue sheet generation (when ripping the whole disc).
