    Yes.

     cdparanoia -d "/dev/scd0" -B -- 4-5

      I think I started with scd0 to begin with, then tried sg0 because I found
      it in the /proc/scsi world and decided to go with that for a while.

    Actually, I started with rip. It just disappeared waiting for cdparanoia
    to tell it something interesting, which it never does. No errors, no .wav.
    A friend at work suggested that the CD is copy protected, which it is,
    but that's just a header setting. I don't see why it wouldn't at least
    finish producing a bogus .wav file, unless there's something in the
    first few sectors of each track that makes it compute weird, but I've
    tried the -t switch and it doesn't help.

    Like I said, it shows all the tracks and their correct titles, the
    artist, etc., so it CAN read the cd a little, apparently.
