Specifications
Or you want to try the combination of "cdda2wav" and "sox", available from sunsite and its mirrors:
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/sound/cdrom/cdda2wav0.71.src.tar.gz
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/sound/convert/sox−11gamma−cb3.tar.gz
cdda2wav enables you to get a specific interval (or a whole track) from your audio CD and converts it into
a .wav−file. sox converts the WAV files back into the (audio CD) cdda−format so it can be written to the
CD−R using cdrecord. You don't necessarily need sox if you use a recent version of cdrecord, because
it has built−in support for .au and .wav files.
4.6 How to probe for SCSI devices after boot?
The file drivers/scsi/scsi.c contains the information
/*
* Usage: echo "scsi add−single−device 0 1 2 3" >/proc/scsi/scsi
* with "0 1 2 3" replaced by your "Host Channel Id Lun".
* Consider this feature BETA.
* CAUTION: This is not for hot plugging your peripherals. As
* SCSI was not designed for this you could damage your
* hardware !
* However perhaps it is legal to switch on an
* already connected device. It is perhaps not
* guaranteed this device doesn't corrupt an ongoing data transfer.
*/
Please note that this should only be used if your add SCSI devices to the end of the chain. Inserting new SCSI
devices into an existing chain disturbs the naming of devices (directory /dev) and may destroy the complete
content of your hard disk.
Some kernel versions do not like re−scanning the SCSI bus at all and your system may freeze solid when
trying out the above. You have been warned.
4.7 Is it possible to make a 1:1 copy of a data CD?
Yes. But you should be aware of the fact that any errors while reading the original (due to dust or scratches)
will result in a defective copy. Please note that both methods will fail on audio CDs! You have to use cdrdao
or cdda2wav on audio CDs.
