[Techtalk] Clueless Ripping Revisited--Hardware ?s

[Beth Johnson]

So, I've never gotten the ripping and encoding working on my system.

To recap, I have a Creative CD5233 emulated as scd0 and a TDK
CDRW241040B emulated as scd1.  This works fine for xcdroast and I've
been able to burn both data and audio cds.

When I try to rip with Grip nothing actually happens except for the
program stepping through the tracks.  There is no access of the cdrom
during the operation.  When I've tried using mp3c, it tells me that
paranoia can't open the device.  When I try MusicMatchJukebox, it
doesn't even see the device for play or record, even when I fix the
config to point to /dev/scd0.

When I go to the command line and try with cdparanoia, just using an
example they have in the help and adding -v :
-----------------
$ cdparanoia -Bv -- "-3"
cd paranoia III release 9.8 (March, 23 2001)

Checking /dev/cdrom for cdrom
        Testing /dev/cdrom for cooked ioctl() interface
                /dev/scd0 is not a cooked ioctl CDROM.
        Testing /dev/cdrom for SCSI interface
                No generic SCSI device found to match CDROM device
/dev/scd0

Hmm, perhaps I'm missing some modules here?
Here's the output from lsmod:

Any insight?
