I was just toying with cdrecord on my Powerbook (TiBook DVI edition). With cdrecord 1.11a40 (from the unstable tree), I can't seem to get cdrecord to recognize the built-in CD burner that Apple ships with the TiBook (which shows up as /dev/disk3 in disktool).

The document /sw/etc/default/cdrecord contains for convenience this line:

CDR_DEVICE = IOCompactDiscServices

But I've also tried to force it based on some of the examples provided by others here, such as:

cdrecord -v -speed 12 -eject dev=IOCompactDiscServices myisofile.iso

and the output that I receive is:

Cdrecord 1.11a40 (powerpc-apple-macosx6.2) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 J�Zrg Schilling
TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM
scsidev: 'IOCompactDiskServices'
devname: 'IOCompactDiskServices'
scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2
cdrecord: Undefined error: 0. No matching device IOCompactDiskServices found.. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root.
cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'.
and according to the man page, cdrecord -scanbus doesn't work on OS X, so I diddled around and tried a few combinations (such as dev=3,0) but no luck. Has anyone had success with a built-in CDRW?

Cheers,

I was considering the same project, but probably I won't have much
spare time during this holidays. If you need help...

Thanks.

Anyway I have a question: how can I create an audio CD including cddb
info using cdrecord??
I've seen iTunes produce cddb info for a CD I ripped from vinyl myself
with cdrecord on at least one occasion.  It's a mystery to me how this
works but I guess it somehow gleans something from the combination of
track lengths and possibly track names, and gets a match for this at
the cddb website.  It only seems to work if I painstakingly separate
each album track and burn them to CD in the proper order.  When the
freshly burned audio CD remounts iTunes is launched and it just shows
generic track names (Track 1, Track 2, ...) and goes off to cddb for
track info.  With one or two albums it came back with a match, bringing
back information on original recording dates and such that I know I
never furnished when I burned the CD.
