I needed to read some cd-text from an audio cd today. I was saddened to find that the default audio ripper in Ubuntu does not do this for me automatically (it could be done easily enough though). If you just _want_ the information and don't mind so much that it's not being extracted automatically for you with the fields filled out in the ripper then you can find it by doing a simple "cdda2wav -Q". If you have more than one cd-rom drive, then you'll want "cdda2wav -Q -D /dev/cdrom2" where "/dev/cdrom2" is the cd-rom device you want to access. Unfortunately cdda2wav will not be installed by default, but you can get it with a quick "sudo apt-get install icedax".
