Does anyone know how to get pre-emphasis and pre-gap info about a CD on Linux? I thought I was getting pre-gap info with "cdparanoia -Q" but every CD I try says "pre no" and this thread says cdparanoia doesn't detect pre-gaps properly:

http://code.google.com/p/rubyripper/issues...d%20Modified#c1

Supposedly there is something called cdrdao-utility that will do it, but I can't find that file anywhere.

hmmm...

well i know that:
* cdda2wav will detect pre-emphasis ("cdrecord -D /dev/cdrom -J") and can RIP & convert on-the-fly "-T"
* sox can process for pre-emphasis if you've already ripped the CD and it is in wav
* k3b will detect pre-emphasis (select your drive with the audio cd loaded and select "media info") - it does not use cdda2wav
* k3b will write an audio project WITH pre-emphasis with the pre-emphasis flag checked.
