It is most likely that the -swab option is not taking effect. If that's the case, you can use software to generate byte swapped wav files just to circumvent the limitation in cdrecord. If you don't want the original .wav files you could do the swapped rip, although that seems a kludge. In looking at the code, and the logic is most complex, there are different logic paths for raw mode, so if you use -raw or -doa which is achieved via raw, this may be involved. There is also a check to see if the drive reports SWAB about itself. Joerg may want to comment on any of this again, his code is quite readable, but the logic is necessarily complex and I didn't flow chart it to see what could be reached in all cases. Knowing that the files are okay, he may be able to identify why they don't appear to get swab'd. -- -bill davidsen ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) "The secret to procrastination is to put things off until the last possible moment - but no longer" -me -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
