Re: Still having trouble with ripping/burning CDs
----this boring bit taken from the xcdroast faq
X-CD-Roast is a graphical user interface (GUI) for the command-line
cdrtools. You can do anything X-CD-Roast does yourself using these
tools - but it's nicer and easier with the frontend. The cdrtools
contain "cdrecord" (does do the hard job supporting all the cdwriters
and is doing the actual writing of CDs), "readcd" (reads data-tracks of
CDs - its a portable replacement of "dd"), "mkisofs" (masters
CD-/images from given file-trees on the harddisk) and "cdda2wav" (reads
audio-tracks). Cdrecord, readcd and mkisofs are maintained by Joerg
Schilling, cdda2wav by Heiko Eissfeldt and X-CD-Roast by me, Thomas
Niederreiter.
---- the point of it is that if xcdroast can do it, then cdrecord can
do it too. Well Steve you are an engineer so I am sure you will get to
the bottom of it!
