Re: Making a copy of a CD

["romain lerallut" <rom1@catsrule.garfield.com>]

Add to this the X frontends for cdrecord, cdparanoia, cdrdao,etc:

my favourite: xcdroast 0.98 ( doesn't copy on-the-fly audio CDs , though, just data)
gcdmaster (1.1 i think) (can't find a .deb for this one, check out .rpms or non-packaged
binaries) this one does on-the-fly copies for audio CDs.

both are gtk-based and use the command-line tools Sebastiaan mentioned, however they are
a bit easier to use, if you're not familiar with making iso-images, buffer sizes, and the likes.

(though with command line tools you could write a tiny script and/or alias to duplicate a CD,
or create an image, so that you fight the syntax once and for all, your choice there.)

Hope this helps,
Romain

Hi,

for data only cd's (one session, one track) the simplest is:
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/tmp/cdfile.iso


You can then mount it with:
mount -o loop,ro -t iso9660 /tmp/cdfile.iso /cdrom


For mixed cd's or multisession, I found this module that mounts your cd
track by track (shows the tracks):

You can copy the disc track by track to hd. For audio tracks you could
also use cdparanoia.

Greetz,
Sebastiaan
