CD ripping for Linux MC in Beta (AMD64 only)
bob:
If you pull MC from the beta repo channel (you'll get 30.0.42) you can rip audio CD's with it.
Some caveats, it only uses one drive for now and that's /dev/sr0 (which is the base device often symlinked to /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd, etc).
There may be issues with sector begin/end but since it seems to matchup TOC's with the Mac code I think it's ok.
It won't handle CD text yet (however most CD's don't have that anyway)
and it won't handle multisession or mixed audio/data CD's (I think, I've none to test).
Give it a spin and let me know. It works fine for me even on my old 2011 Macbook Pro running Buster.

Does it use Whipper or?
bob:
It needs no additional libraries. It's using MC's built in Ripping/encoding code.
The underlying routines for low level reading, control, etc needed to be written.
Windows and Mac have a generic scsi layer that does that.

This is exciting news bob! I noticed that a "CD" entry suddenly popped up in theater view on my Linux systems, which made me wonder if the plumbing was getting laid in for CD support. I'll try to kick the tires over the weekend!
Just so I know, should plain playback work as well or does it only rip?
bob:
Playback isn’t hooked up yet.
