 Possible, but if they are protected, wouldn't I be prevented from
 copying any track, or do they pick a random track or two just to piss
 me off?

The last tracks are sometimes data tracks.
The tools that use the scsi emulation
seem to handle those better.

What happens if you install the same DVD-ROM drive in your
FreeBSD box, and try that?  Maybe it's your drive?

Is this a useful test after all? Most drives go down to 1x playing
audio, which is nowhere near 52x or what's current nowadays.

I can play the discs, but, I didn't play one from start to finish.
I'll give it a try later.

ATAng - copying atapi CD

2003-09-02 Thread Bryan Liesner

I have a perl script that dd's each audio track from an audio cd.  The
tracks are copied just fine until it gets about 75% into a 70 minute
cd.  dd then gets slower and slower until it seems to grind to a halt.
eventually, I'll set TIMEOUT messages and won't be able to kill the
current dd process.   Same results with DMA or PIO modes.  Shorter
(40 minute) CDs make it through the process OK.

Soren's crdao 1.1.7 for ATAng also grinds to a halt when copying a cd.

I saw this on ATAold as well, using cdparanoia, dd, dagrab, etc. I just
chalked it up to my drive being stupid, though it did it on several audio
discs. So, maybe it isn't me after all? I don't recall seeing any timeout
messages, though.

And when I say ATAold, I mean ATAold from a week or so before the ATAng
commit.

I just test a couble of audio CD's on tre different ATAPI drives, I didn't
see any slowdown at all.
I think this can be both because of the drive as well as the media..

If you notice that your CD-R label looks strange and if you need
