Hi! Is it a normal audio-CD? If so you could just take cdda2wav or cdparanoia or whatever. .wav is the easiest to get there. Don't worry about what your GUI tells you, I seem to remember that KDE was able to show cddas playing as .aiff and similar. If your "disk" is a data disk with .aiff files, than take sndfile-convert or ecaconvert (which comes with ecasound/ecatools). for F in *.aiff; do ecaconvert .wav $F; done or even: ecaconvert .wav *.aiff With sndfile-convert: for F in *.aiff; do sndfile-convert "$F" "$F".wav; done If your files are not pcm16 you better give a special encoding option like this: sndfile-convert -pcmu8 in.aiff out.wav I suppose you know how to find out the encoding. HTH.
