The cdrdao
package provides, by far, the simplest
interface for burning CDs. Also, some burners have had limited
support for track at once burning, as was the experience with
Mint (101.32) where cdrecord
could not work for recording
audio. The cdrdao
tool worked just fine in that instance.
Cdrdao
can be used to duplicate both data and audio
CDs.
By default cdrdao is run as root and access can
be provided to users through the use of sudo. If you wish
to provide all users with access to the program you can set the
permissions appropriately:
# chmod u+s /usr/bin/cdrdao
|
To use cdrdao you need to know where your CD writer is.
Use the cdrdao command as follows to find this out:
You can then specify as command line options of cdrdao
the
-device and -driver. However, to avoid having to
do this every time you can create either /home/kayon/.cdrdao
or /etc/default/cdrdao. The file should contain the following
line or lines, replacing the 0,0,0 with your SCSI device
address as identified by cdrdao scanbus, and the driver (if
required) with the appropriate one for your CD writer - see the cdrdao
man pages:
write_device: "0,0,0"
write_driver: "generic-mmc"

On Athens (101.5) (kernel 2.6.7) the device is ATA:1,0,0.
The following cdrdao commands can be specified on the
command line without the need to identify the device each time
(assuming it is identified in the appropriate configuration file as
described above):
show-toc - prints out toc and exits
toc-info - prints out short toc-file summary
toc-size - prints total number of blocks for toc
read-toc - create toc file from audio CD
read-cd - create toc and rip audio data from CD
read-cddb - contact CDDB server and add data as CD-TEXT to toc-file
show-data - prints out audio data and exits
read-test - reads all audio files and exits
disk-info - shows information about inserted medium
msinfo - shows multi session info, output is suited for scripts
unlock - unlock drive after failed writing
blank - blank a CD-RW
scanbus - scan for devices
simulate - shortcut for 'write --simulate'
write - writes CD
copy - copies CD

See Section 14.3.1 for examples of copying a CD,
Section 14.3.3 for mastering and burning an audio
CD, Section 14.7 deals with CD-RWs, and
Section 14.5.4 covers copying VCDs.
