I had a CD that would not rip on Windows/iTunes and sounded awful when played. I gave it a last chance from my home server which happened to have an CD drive in it and it worked!
Feels pretty cool to be doing it from the CLI too. The CD drive does sound like it's on its last legs though 😅

I needed a little tool to convert a CD audio book into something an iPod would understand ... so now I've made a PWA to do it with a WASM-based ffmpeg encoder!
