CsharpRipper Files

========================================================================
                      CsharpRipper v1.2.0
========================================================================
A lightweight, cross-platform Audio CD Ripper for Windows & Linux 
written in native C# (.NET 10).

This tool interacts directly with native OS hardware boundaries (Win32 
API on Windows / ioctl on Linux) to extract bit-perfect, lossless audio 
tracks without relying on any external CLI utilities.

Features:
---------
- 100% Lossless Ripping: Extracts raw CD audio (PCM, 44.1 kHz, 16-bit, 
  Stereo) and automatically generates standard RIFF-WAV files.
- Zero Dependencies: Pure C# code utilizing low-level OS capabilities.
- Cross-Platform UI: Automatically detects the OS environment at startup.
- Smart Path Routing: Accepts destination paths directly via CLI arguments 
  or launches an interactive user prompt when double-clicked.
- Software Error Correction: Features an integrated 3x retry mechanism 
  for scratched discs. Unreadable sectors are automatically padded 
  with digital silence to keep tracks intact and synchronous.
- Smart Layout Architecture: Automatically creates a unique target 
  folder for each disc based on its track layout to prevent overwriting.

Project Structure:
------------------
- Program.cs         : Main execution workflow, argument checking & UI.
- NativeCdBridge.cs  : Hardware bridge (Win32 API & Linux ioctl / libc).
- CsharpRipper.csproj: .NET 10 project configuration file.

Requirements & Default Drives:
------------------------------
- Windows: x64 OS. Default drive is set to "D:" (adjustable in source).
- Linux  : x64 OS. Default drive is set to "/dev/sr0" (requires root privileges).

How to Build (Cross-Compiling via Linux CLI):
---------------------------------------------
To build for Linux:
   dotnet publish -c Release -r linux-x64 --self-contained -p:PublishSingleFile=true -p:PublishTrimmed=true

To build for Windows (.exe):
   dotnet publish -c Release -r win-x64 --self-contained -p:PublishSingleFile=true -p:PublishTrimmed=true

Usage on Windows:
-----------------
Scenario A (Double-click): Double-click 'CsharpRipper.exe'. A command prompt 
will appear and ask you interactively where to save the files.
Scenario B (Command Line): Pass the destination path directly as an argument:
   CsharpRipper.exe C:\Music\MyAlbum

Usage on Linux:
---------------
Copy the compiled Linux binary to /usr/local/bin/. Run it with root 
privileges and an optional target path:
   sudo CsharpRipper ~/Music/MyAlbum
