Rip a CD with Cdda2wav

cdda2wav -L0 -t all -cuefile -paranoia paraopts=retries=200,readahead=600,minoverlap=sectors-per-request-1 -verbose-level all output.wav

Cdda2wav is a tool that uses the Paranoia library to facilitate accurate ripping of audio CDs (CDDA). It can be installed via Homebrew with the command brew install cdrtools. This command will accurately rip an audio CD into a single wave file, while querying the CDDB database for track information and creating a cue sheet. This cue sheet can then be used either for playback of the WAV file or to split it into individual access files. Any cdtext information that is discovered will be stored as a sidecar. For more information about cue sheets see this wikipedia article.

Notes: On macOS the CD must be unmounted before this command is run. This can be done with the command sudo umount '/Volumes/Name_of_CD'

As of writing, when using the default Homebrew installed version of Cdda2wav some drives will falsely report errors on all rips. If this is occurring, a possible solution is to use the command brew install --devel cdrtools to install a more recent build that incorporates a fix.

cdda2wav
begins the Cdda2wav command
-L0
tells Cdda2wav to query the CDDB database for track name information. L0 is 'interactive mode' meaning Cdda2wav will ask you to confirm choices in the event of multiple matches. Change this to -L1 to automatically select the first database match.
