I have now tried for two nights and 5 Cd burning applications and I cannot write an audio Cd with any of them. Honestly, I have never had very good luck at this since Mdk 8.1 but It has never been quite this bad.
Xcdroast - It does not even read the original Audio Cd I am trying to copy as a test. This one is 20 tracks long. It sees only 9 tracks and not even the first 9 but oddly 1-5, 9, 14, 18, 19. Very odd, the track lengths are all wrong too. It does seem to recognize my Cd-Rw drive (samsung sw-212B) with no problems. Eroaster only sees 9 tracks as well ... which ones I am not sure. I cannot get it to tell me any more than this. Gcombust comes the closest to functioning but it reads the original very slowly ... I would guess 2X when it should read at least at 5X the Cd drive is capable of 32X I have noted audio at 5-7X before. Gcombust, however, seems incapable of obtaining a clean error free burn. In dummy mode it works just fine but when it is actually burning it failed twice at different points in the burn. (2 new coasters) Hum ... Gnome-Toaster looks like it might work ... I just tried it for the first time and it sees all 20 tracks and it looks like it may read the disk Ok too. It is also a bit slow at this ... maybe 2-3x. I know I can do better than this I have done at least 5X in the past. Anyway the proof is if it burns correctly. I also tried Gcdmaster along with cdrdao and although it tried hard to function correctly it too fails during burning. Only hope left is Gnome-Toaster which is continuing to read the Cd as I write this. Anyway all of this makes me think there is some major problem with cdrecord in Mdk 9.0 Any ideas.
