How to Salvage Audio CD

I have an Audio CD a friend recorded of a wedding, but something went wrong with it and it doesn't play in CD players. If I look on the underside of it, I can see the line where the colour changes about 2/3 of the way through the radius of the disc, indicating that data was written to it. I had been hoping that Whipper (the Morituri fork) might be able to salvage it, but using the same command that works fine with other CDs I have, these are the errors I get:

[user@laptop new]$ whipper cd rip -U --offset 103

Re: How to Salvage Audio CD

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=219305
from 2016 suggests cdda2wav or cdparanoia: both are still around...
cdda2wav is in https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … /cdrtools/
cdparanoia is in https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extr … dparanoia/

Good luck!
Cheers
