cdparanoia is a command-line compact disc ripper for Unix-like operating systems and BeOS developed by Xiph.org. It is designed to be a minimalistic CD ripper which would compensate for sub-par hardware to produce an accurate rip.[1]
libparanoia is a portable and platform-independent library which was made from important components from from the Linux/gcc-only program cdparanoia. Libparanoia is part of the cdrtools suite.

Design
libparanoia is the foundation of the project and does most of the work; the application cdparanoia is its frontend. (The current stable release of the library is Paranoia III.) cdparanoia is by design slow and thorough in ripping every bit from a CD, with the maximum number of default passes or reads being 20.[2] A live output shows the progress and status denoted by emoticons.[3][4] It can save the audio from discs as WAV, AIFF, AIFF-C, or raw format files.
Several programs provide a graphical frontend to cdparanoia itself, among them RubyRipper[5] and Sound Juicer.[6]

Status indicators
One of the quirks of cdparanoia, in keeping with its minimalist design, is that the ripping status is indicated with an emoticon.
