Re: [LAU] SOLUTION - CDRDAO - need help on new machine

I used k3b to help me figure out how to use cdrdao on my newer machine. Here's how. In the "burn" dialog window - Select the Writing Mode "DAO". - Select the Writing app "cdrdao". - Check the "Simulate" button in the "Settings". - Click "Burn". When that's done click the "Show Debugging Output" in the burning progress window. k3b failed the simulated burn and used this command: /usr/bin/cdrdao write --device /dev/sr0 --driver generic-mmc:0x00000010 --speed 16 --simulate -n -v 2 --force --remote 24 /home/kevinc/.tmp/kde-kevinc/k3b_audio_0_.toc I altered that command to be: cdrdao simulate --device /dev/sr0 --driver generic-mmc:0x00000010 -v 2 contents.toc That complained: ERROR: CD-TEXT: Language 0: PERFORMER field not defined for all tracks or disk. The CD_TEXT block of my TOC file didn't have a PERFORMER field. I copied the PERFORMER field of another track to that block. After fixing that, the simulated cdrdao command worked fine. Even better changing "simulate" to "write" produced a CD that plays just right on one of my audio CD players that had trouble with the last disc. Yay! I hope this helps someone else.... -- Kevin
