Asunder Shows CD tracks and CDDB lookup result but will not run.

Trying to rip a CD to file on my new LEAP 42.1 machine with Gnome desktop. I have installed the multimedia packages as usual and am using asunder (grip is no longer supported,) and I am not brave enough to use CLI rippers until I know all is working.

With the CD in the drive and if I start asunder the drive spins and asunder shows all the tracks correctly but when I try to start ripping there is no progress and everything stays at 0%.

I have a suspicion it may be hardware issue and have tried pointing to CD-ROM using /dev/cdrom and /dev/sr0 but to no avail. On one occasion it did start to rip but then failed and stalled.

Grateful for any pointers as to what I am doing wrong. Also suggestions for another ripper in case it is an asunder problem.

Hi
What about soundconverter?

Hi Malcolm and thanks. Will try but have been doing more digging and I suspect it is the DVD device. It is on an IBM server and may have limited features. Strange that it can read the titles though. I wonder if it could be a driver issue but bottom line is I have ordered a new drive which should do the trick!!!
