I wonder what the command line folks do here for CD duplication. I
need to duplicate some new studio CDs for listening in different
environment. The CDs require gapless writing - no 2 second gap - as
some songs flow from track to track. They also should support CD Text.
In the past I've done this stuff in k3b but for some reason many of
the copies of new CD-Rs I'm receiving aren't playing in my car stereo.
Strange as the original CD-Rs play perfectly. I've tried 4 different
media types. It's always the same CD-R copies that fail. My copies
work elsewhere - Windows iTunes ripping, my home CD player, my wife's
car - just not my car.
How do folks get bit-perfect CDs and what extra steps can I take to
get these tough CD-R copies to play? Write slower, libparanoia, what
else?
As I'm not a CLI guy at all if you can provide some test commands for
me to play with I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Mark
P.S. - I have also tried cleaning the car CD player with one of those
special discs but it didn't help. - MWK
P.S.2. - Doesn't *have* to be CLI, but I think I'd like to do it that
way so I can try it in Cygwin also. - MWK again... ;-)

Hi!
I usually use cdrecord (aka wodim), and I know there cdrdao, but I never got
it to work properly with my IDE CD-drive. I compiled my own kernel and it
doesn't have IDE-SCSI emulation. That might be a problem. I know that cdrdao
can do gapless and cdrecord should be able to do that as well. But I don't
know how. But these are the alternatives in the console I know of. Sorry I
couldn't be of more help.
Kindest regards
Julien

Thanks Julien. These are the ones I'm also looking at, along with
cdda2wav. I'd like to go command line because I've had a few problems
in Linux, one of which Joerg Schilling (sp?) says may be related to a
long-standing SCSI bug in the kernel, but from my early tests doesn't
show up at all under Cygwin.
k3b seems to use:
/usr/bin/cdrecord -v gracetime=2 dev=/dev/hda speed=40 -raw96r
driveropts=burnfree -clone -eject /home/mark/backups/k3b_0.img
to build an image file for what that program calls a Clone. I then see this:
/usr/bin/readcd -v dev=/dev/hda f=/home/mark/backups/k3b_0.img -clone
retries=128 ts=128k
I suspect to write the CD-Rs that aren't working in my car.
Anyway, I've played with a few commands and gotten data on disk, but I
haven't tried writing anything to CD-R yet.
Also, look into
readcd -c2scan
cdrecord -minfo
for testing the quality of what's on CD, along with lots of other
command line variations.
Again, thanks for the interest.
Cheers,
Mark
P.S. - Seems like Dave should have written this up years ago in the
Linux Journal. Probably he did! ;-)

Obviously I have the two commands above backwards.
Clone read of CD:
readcd -v dev=/dev/hda f=/home/mark/backups/k3b_0.img -clone retries=128 ts=128k
The use of the readcd -clone option puts the whole disk info into a single file.
Clone write of CD:
cdrecord -v gracetime=2 dev=/dev/hda speed=40 -raw96r
driveropts=burnfree -clone -eject /home/mark/backups/k3b_0.img
The -raw96r option tells cdrecord it's reading a Clone type file.
According to the man page gracetime=2 is not allowed as it's below a
minimum of 3.
burnfree is write drive dependent.

What's the process of writing the CD with this information that links
the copy I build up to cddb, has the right text for track names and
artist, etc.?

I'm not sure about the clone function. I usually use cdda2wav ||
cdrecord. I always use cdrecord -dao -useinfo for gapless tracks.
There is also an option for reading a toc file. It's somewhere in the
--help section. You can also check the cdrecord website for a complete
instruction manual and howto.

The -raw96r
option tells cdrecord it's reading a Clone type file.

I've used K3b quite a few times to copy commercial CDs to play on the PA
at the pub where I work. Too much change of damage or loss to take the
original.
Burn at the slowest speed possible and use Exact Copy not Clone Copy.

work elsewhere - Windows iTunes ripping, my home CD player, my wife's
car - just not my car.
First, make sure to lower the writing speed. I'd use x8 or something.
And some car stereos are more sensitive than others.
As for CLI rip/burn I just tried this (from the wodim manpage):
"To copy an audio CD in the most accurate way, first run
'icedax dev=/dev/cdrom -vall cddb=0 -B -Owav'
and then run
'wodim dev=/dev/cdrw -v -dao -useinfo -text *.wav'
This will try to copy track indices and to read CD-Text information
from disk. If there is no CD-Text information, icedax will try to get
the information from freedb.org instead"
You might need to adjust the device names to suite your setup.
I don't know (and I doubt it) if icedax is more accurate than
cdparanoia but it seems to be the only "easy" way of ripping cd-text.
I also haven't verified if it's really gapless but the -dao should
indicate it.
