    @tmtomh There are no colossally stupid questions.

    sacd_extract is placed in Users/(me)/Music/SACDrips ... the same Music folder where iTunes resides by default. SACDrips is the folder wherein sacd_extract resides.

    The Terminal command cd ~/Music/SACDrips takes me to that folder, as it is named.

    Unless Terminal is lying to me.

    After the correct folder shows up in Terminal, I copy-n-paste that original ./ command right after the folder name, then hit return.

    Before, the result came up "Permission denied"... since I tried @deadcoldfish suggestion (chmod), the result now always reads "cannot execute binary file"

    The difficulty is because the OP (I'm sure he has good reasons) does not want to install Java on his computer. All of the discussion above is moot if you install Java. I have no technical computer knowledge and ripping SACDs on my Oppo could not be easier.

    That's all well and good but I have no idea what Java is or if it's installed on my laptop.

    What output of:

    file sacd_extract

    command are you seeing?

    Bill, you are correct that there's an essential point of complication, stemming from two factors: (1) The easy-to-use app - ISO2DSD - is a Java-based app, and (2) Apple stopped installing Java by default on newer Macs and on newer versions of the Mac operating system. A potential third complicating factor is that Apple's new(ish) security measures - which are a good idea IMHO - can make it a bit more complicated to install Java in some cases.

    But honestly, having Java on one's computer is something that, while necessary in this case, is peripheral to the actual SACD ripping procedure, which is in fact about as easy as an unofficial type of operation like this can get.

    I do feel your pain, though.

    I don't understand the question.

    Me too, this is quite beyond me! Luddite that I am, I think I'll stick to spinning discs...:)

    in Terminal type this in:

    file sacd_extract

    then press Return.

    cut and paste the output of the "file" command.

    This will tell us what type of binary the file "sacd_extract" is.

    which should look like this:

    file sacd_extract

    Out of interest, do you have access to a Windows PC on which you can try the extraction?

    Here is mine (I am on Win7 with Cygwin):
    Code:
    $ file sacd_extract.exe
    sacd_extract.exe: PE32 executable (console) Intel 80386, for MS Windows
    
    I suspect you have the wrong or corrupt binary file (sacd_extract)...

    ^ You might be right. Here's what happened:

    sacd_extract: cannot open `sacd_extract' (No such file or directory)

    for OSX, it should appear like this:

    file sacd_extract

    sacd_extract: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64

    Doesn't that require Java?

    The GUI does, but you just need the correct sacd_extract binary for OSX, which is in the zip file.

    Disclosure: not only have I ditched Java, but a long time ago, I went thru System Preferences and arranged for max security. I wear a tin foil hat, sue me.

    I mention it because it looks like sacd_extract appears as an unauthorized 3rd-party-something that maybe I can't open without making a move. In System Prefs > Security Privacy it stated that sacd_extracts would not launch for this reason, and I hit the "Open Anyway" button. So I think maybe it's now enabled, but I don't see evidence of that.

    Still getting "cannot execute"

    No - the sacd_extract Mac app is included separately, along with ISO2DSD in the download.

    So this is to replace a possibly-corrupted sacd_extract, and then try all over again? Should this new one have a new folder created for it?

    If you didn't get the old sacd_extract from the ISO2DSD download, then corruption isn't your problem. If you copied the sacd_extract from the AutoScript folder over to your Mac, then the problem is that sacd_extract is not a Mac application.

    Jeeez....

    Downloaded Sonore, put the new sacd_extract in a new folder (SACDrips2) all by itself, tried again, got this:

    XXXX-iMac:SACDrips2 XXXXXXXX ./sacd_extract -2 -s -c -i 192.168.1.36:2002

    Failed to connect

    libsacdread: Can't open 192.168.1.36:2002 for reading

    cool ! Is the Oppo running the Autoscript USB stick ? type in Terminal:

    ping 192.168.1.36

    to see if it responds.

    Yes, it's slowly loading several lines. On top it says: 56 data bytes

    EDIT: several lines have become several hundred.

    Stop? Go? What?

    Control C to stop it.

    On the USB stick, there are 3 files in the Autoscript folder ?

    No, just two: AutoScript, AutoScript.TSS, per instructions.

    sacd_extract went to Users, per above. This was done early on.
