I use dagrab, e.g. $ mkdir musictracks $ cd musictracks $ dagrab -d /dev/acd1c will leave a file for each track (trackXX.wav) on the cd. > 2) Burn that track onto a cd-r (burncd -f /dev/acd1c audio filename > fixate?) That's right. burncd will accept wildcards, so all of the files generated by dagrab can be burned with something like: $ burncd -f /dev/acd1c -e -s4 audio track*.wav fixate > > or something that will accomplish both (i.e. copy a track directly from > a cd onto a cd-r).

Reading an audio CD is a mysterious process that seems to involve a lot of trial and error to get the timing right, so it is slow. It seems that trying to copy directly from a CD to a CD-R would present some timing problems. In any case, to read an audio CD you have to use software that knows how to make sense of an audio CD. > > PLEASE COPY ME on any mails.

Adding a "See also: dagrab dd mkisofs" section to the burncd page would probably be useful - that would point you to all of the basic tools you need to copy or build music or data CDs. As for clarifying the rest, I vote for a tutorial on the difference between mode 1, mode 2, and XAmode1 tracks. It's a little difficult to figure out which options to use when you don't understand what they do ;) Then again, since dagrab isn't part of the base system it may be bad form to reference it in the man page for something that is in the base system. > > Thanks, > > Daniel Hagan > - Bob To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
