Extracted tracks are automatically verified against AccurateRip's online database. The confidence level is the number of other people who have the same rip, so a larger value indicates one's own rip is consistent with those of others. However, not finding one's rip in the AccurateRip database does not necessarily mean the rip is bad; the CD may be new, rare, or a different pressing than the one in the database.

Extract all of the tracks from /dev/cdrom as FLAC files at the default quality:

cdda2track -t flac -c /dev/cdrom
