Re: copying audio cd's

SNIP
  burncd -f /dev/acd0c -smax -d audio track1.raw track2.raw ...
  
  But (at least I found that) it didn't produce a completely correct audio
  CD; there's something fishy with the TOC, I think.
 
 I had trouble with that usage as well. The resulting CD would not
 *start* playing in my audio CD player, but gave me a flashing 00:00 on
 the front panel. If I fast-forwarded enough to get past the beginning of
 the first track, it was fine. I was able to get a proper CD by not using
 DAO, thusly:
 
 burncd -f /dev/acd0c -s 40 audio track1 track2 track3 track4 fixate
 
 It seems like it should be possible to pipe the output of tosha into
 burncd, but I have not experimented with this yet; just bought the
 burner yesterday. 

I used this, and it creates a CD that works fine in the Computer, but
when I take it into my truck and pop it in the CD player, it doesn't
work.  Any idea why?  I know I could just use the original in the
truck, but when it gets hot in the summer, I'd be a lot less upset to
have the backup melted than the original.

I also noticed that none of the CD Text info gets saved, nor can the
CDDB info be determined.  Is there any way to preserve that info?

TIA
Lou

If you read a little more carefully, you'll see that those posts
aren't talking about quite the same things.  In fact, they're both
correct; you can't copy an audio cd by dd'ing the whole disk, but you
can do that for a data disk.  For audio disks, you either need another
program that understands audio cd format, or (with ATAPI cd drives
only, I believe) you can use the acdxty format, on a
track-by-track basis.

it looks like you want this section of the handbook:

Yes, sort-of.  For example, I just copied an audio CD by doing

dd if=/dev/acd0t1 of=track1.raw bs=2352
dd if=/dev/acd0t2 of=track2.raw bs=2352
[...]
burncd -f /dev/acd0c -smax -d audio track1.raw track2.raw ...

But (at least I found that) it didn't produce a completely correct audio
CD; there's something fishy with the TOC, I think.  However, for my
purposes it worked sufficiently well in all the devices in which I need
the CD to work.

But ... I only did it this way because cdda2wav, cdrdao, grip, etc,
would not work at all for me.

For the original poster - cdrdao has a copy option that you might
find easier to use than cdda2wav.  I don't think you'll see much of
a difference in the resultant CD, though.

This seems correct. My CDROM drive is SCSI, and the
...devicettrack notation does not work. What I've done is
installed tosha from the ports. It can read audio files from the CD and
write them to the hard disk. Works great, and it's nice that most of the
options default to what I want :^)

 Yes, sort-of.  For example, I just copied an audio CD by doing

If you have a SCSI CD burner, you can try cdrdao. It's in the ports.
