Funny you mention CDParanoia again - I recently learned that the ripping app I used to use when I still owned CDs, CDEx (which has been around for years) has a paranoia mode ported directly from CDParanoia.
The first one I downloaded was CDEx, and I was shocked to find out that it included CDparanoia. The cdParanoia in Bonk is more configurable, but it's still opaque. I wish these programs would return the CD paranoia smileys (something like
for all OK, and
for a serious scratch).
