My suspicion is that his .toc file, or his cdrdao commands are telling it to write the cd as a bunch of tracks (TAO mode-- Track at once mode)) rather than in DAO --Disk at once--mode. > > cdparanoia -d $READ_DEVICE 1- data.wav > cdrdao read-toc --device $READ_DEVICE $TOCFILE > cdrdao read-cddb $TOCFILE > cdrdao write --device $WRITE_DEVICE $TOCFILE > > I don't know if cdparanoia still exists, you can > probably also use cdda2wav or cdrdao for reading > data.wav instead. > > Jens > > XP to alt.os.linux

The man page says one thing, then I get gaps anyway.

If you have an "I did this and it works" sequence, I'm ready for it. -- *=( http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/ *=( For all your UK news needs.

I just want a clone, like the cdrdao man page says it does, but doesn't. -- *=( http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/ *=( For all your UK news needs.

As I said in other posts, all I;m trying to do it get cdrdao to do what it says in it's man page. Lets see what makes sense here... #> cdrdao read-toc --device /dev/dvd test.toc ....gets =================================== CD_DA // Track 1 TRACK AUDIO NO COPY NO PRE_EMPHASIS TWO_CHANNEL_AUDIO SILENCE 00:00:33 FILE "data.wav" 0 03:57:58 START 00:00:33 // Track 2 TRACK AUDIO NO COPY NO PRE_EMPHASIS TWO_CHANNEL_AUDIO FILE "data.wav" 03:57:58 03:35:00 START 00:00:02 // Track 3 TRACK AUDIO NO COPY NO PRE_EMPHASIS TWO_CHANNEL_AUDIO FILE "data.wav" 07:32:58 07:04:60 START 00:00:02 // Track 4 TRACK AUDIO NO COPY NO PRE_EMPHASIS TWO_CHANNEL_AUDIO FILE "data.wav" 14:37:43 04:47:05 START 00:00:02 // Track 5 TRACK AUDIO NO COPY NO PRE_EMPHASIS TWO_CHANNEL_AUDIO FILE "data.wav" 19:24:48 06:22:35 START 00:00:02 // Track 6 TRACK AUDIO NO COPY NO PRE_EMPHASIS TWO_CHANNEL_AUDIO FILE "data.wav" 25:47:08 07:50:20 START 00:00:02 // Track 7 TRACK AUDIO NO COPY NO PRE_EMPHASIS TWO_CHANNEL_AUDIO FILE "data.wav" 33:37:28 03:25:50 START 00:00:02 // Track 8 TRACK AUDIO NO COPY NO PRE_EMPHASIS TWO_CHANNEL_AUDIO FILE "data.wav" 37:03:03 03:50:38 START 00:00:02 // Track 9 TRACK AUDIO NO COPY NO PRE_EMPHASIS TWO_CHANNEL_AUDIO FILE "data.wav" 40:53:41 02:01:19 START 00:00:01 =================================== ....which is what is supposed to use to make sure the copy is a clone, according to 'man cdrdao'. Wanna pick it up and say how you'd progress from here? All I've got is stuff that doesn't work that I've whacked through so many times I can't remember what I've done or not done, and gaps every time. -- *=( http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/ *=( For all your UK news needs.

Have you read and understood the 1st sentence of the cdrdao man page? Please stop posting on this matter until you have. And while you're at it, please also read the description of the read-toc command. The commands below will do a DAO burn. I have burned dozens of music cds like this. There won't be two seconds of silence between tracks if the original cd had continuous music between them. He will be able to skip between tracks. He does not need to fiddle with his toc-file. What else do I have to tell you before you try to burn a cd with the following commands? Do you need some help interpreting the strings that start with a '$' sign or what? >> cdparanoia -d $READ_DEVICE 1- data.wav >> cdrdao read-toc --device $READ_DEVICE $TOCFILE >> cdrdao read-cddb $TOCFILE >> cdrdao write --device $WRITE_DEVICE $TOCFILE >> >> I don't know if cdparanoia still exists, you can >> probably also use cdda2wav or cdrdao for reading >> data.wav instead. I just checked. Slackware (which the OP seems to be using) still contains cdparanoia. |
