I'm running a debian 9.2 machine with a Plextor PX-716A DVD-Drive as /dev/sr0. I would like to rip a music CD to MP3 using abcde. When I try to to launch abcde :
$ abcde -V -d /dev/sr0
CDDB method 0: cddb
Executing customizable pre-read function... done.
Getting CD track info... [WARNING] something went wrong while querying the CD... Maybe a DATA CD?
[WARNING] Error trying to calculate disc ids without lead-out information.
After a few investigations, I tried cdparanoia, without success :
$ cdparanoia -vsQ
cdparanoia III release 10.2 (September 11, 2008)
Using cdda library version: 10.2
Using paranoia library version: 10.2
Checking /dev/cdrom for cdrom...
Testing /dev/cdrom for SCSI/MMC interface
SG_IO device: /dev/sr0
CDROM model sensed sensed: PLEXTOR DVDR PX-716A 1.08
Checking for SCSI emulation...
Drive is ATAPI (using SG_IO host adaptor emulation)
Checking for MMC style command set...
Drive is MMC style
004: Unable to read table of contents header
Unable to open disc. Is there an audio CD in the drive?
The I did the same with cd-discid :
$ cd-discid
cd-discid: /dev/cdrom: CDROMREADTOCHDR: Input/output error
I also think about a permissions problem so I verified :
$ ls -al /dev/sr0
brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 0 Nov 21 22:32 /dev/sr0
and the user that I use is in the group cdrom.
To be sure that my drive is working I put a DVD inside it. I can mount it and access the content, so the DVD drive is not broken. I tried the CD on a CD player it works fine, I also tried another music CD and I've got the same result.
Finally I think that my DVD drive is unable to read the music CD, so I check with cd-info :
$ cd-info /dev/sr0
cd-info version 0.83 i686-pc-linux-gnu

As you can read, this drive is able to read music. In the end, I tried to install vlcand mplayer but none succeed in reading the CD. I'm now lost and far to accomplish a rip !
I would like your suggestions on this problem. Any ideas what to check next ?
