So, how can I duplicat an audio CD?I think you can use dd dd if=/dev/cdrom of=cdrom.iso then, you just burn cdrom.isoI know this technique works for data CDs, but does it work for audio CDs too? Anyone actually tried this?
I disagree with using dd for audio cd's. W/o knowing better, there must be a reason for cdparanoia's existence. Actually the reason could be that data on an audio cd has less synch bits or something, which makes reading audio data less reliable. I'd recommend cdrdao. cdrdao has builtin oprations for reading and duplicating a cd; as I remember, it creates a data file and a TOC that describes the track layout within the data. You can then burn a copy by feeding the TOC to cdrdao. -- pp / p f p @ i k i . f i
