I have a IDE CDROM drive therefore made the task much harder considering that most of the ripping software in the ports collection are geared towards SCSI CDROM drives. I was curious to how you came to the blocksize of being 2352 bytes? Is this documented somewhere? Is that just how the data is layed out on the cd or something? In blocks of 2352 bytes? Now since we're on the subject of cd's and blocksizes. What if I wanted to create a cd image to the hard drive using dd, would I use the same blocksize? Would this command be correct: dd if=/dev/acd0c bs=2352 of=/home/myhome/image.iso ? I ask that question, because I was curious on how to create an image of an audio cd so that I can make duplicates later on. I'm gonna have to give your above command a try to see if it works for me on my FreeBSD 4.4 system. Oh yeah, how's the quality of the sound when ripping cd's that way? Well, thanks for the information! Joey To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
