A certain now dead site's successor also parses XLD logs, in case you are doing a rip on a Mac. I hear that they instruct you to run EAC under Wine if you have a *nix box.

XLD logs were also processed by the predecessor. It would be rather frustrating to have to use an inferior solution via Wine.

  What is your certain dead site? I cannot understand this subthread because of that uncertainty.

      first rule about private trackers is not to talk about private trackers.

cdparanoia also has a detailed log file. So why can't they parse that for Linux users?

  The most modern CD ripper frontend for Linux I've found is whipper, which is a fork of morituri. It also has detailed log files, no ideas if "certain sites" accept them or not. Due to dependency shenanigans I couldn't run it on Debian so I created an LXC container on my server running Ubuntu 18.04, passed the /dev/sr0 block device and it worked. https://gist.github.com/jtl999/2991f1100b4f42895aa1842c5bef83af https://gist.github.com/jtl999/2991f1100b4f42895aa1842c5bef8... I'd be curious how well cdparanoia handles his CD if at all. Furthermore I read a post on a forum where someone tested a bunch of drives with scratched CDs and the Samsung SH-2xxxx drives performed the best. No idea of the exact methodology he used. https://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?34529-Best-DVD-drive-for-reading-scratched-discs-TEST-RESULTS-ON-GOING https://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?34529-Best-DVD-d... (Before you ask. I didn't buy this drive based on his post, bought it 7 years ago for my desktop on a whim) Still gotten 100% track quality out of whipper with some minor scratched discs.

    Whipper is ripper frontend that's 'planned' to eventually be accepted at 'certain sites', but it's not yet to my knowledge.

  Does the default log file list the locations of sectors that failed to read? There's also a question of interpolation for obliterated sectors. Many would prefer there to be no data than interpolated data because that's a much more obvious failure mode.

  They can parse it, but seem to want some proprietary plugin to create signed checksums to prevent (though in reality only for the most unknowledgeable) log spoofing.
