.SH NAME
Burning CDs
.SH GENERAL
You can learn the scsi numbers of your cd recorder with this command:
.PP
.RS
.nf
cdrecord -scanbus
.fi
.RE
.PP
You must be root to run that command.
.SH AUDIO
First, get the audio off the CD into wav files:
.PP
.RS
.nf
for n in ~pjungwir/bin/range 1 32; do
cdda2wav -D /dev/cdrom -t $n track$n.wav;
done;
.fi
.RE
.PP
This command assumes you have less than 32 tracks on the CD. As soon as you grab a track, cdda2wav will show you the total number of tracks you need.
.PP
Next convert the wav files into cdr files:
.PP
.RS
.nf
for n in ~pjungwir/bin/range 1 32; do
sox track$n.wav track$n.cdr;
done;
.fi
.RE
.PP
Finally, burn it to a CD:
.PP
.RS
.nf
cdrecord -v dev=/dev/hdc speed=2 -audio ls -tr track*.cdr
.fi
.RE
.PP
or:
.PP
.RS
.nf
cdrecord -v dev=/dev/hdc speed=2 -audio \
$(for n in ~pjungwir/bin/range 1 32; do echo track$n.cdr; done)
.fi
.RE
.PP
Add the blank=all option if you're using a cdrw disk that already has data.
.SH DATA
To create a data cd, first create the cd image:
.PP
.RS
.nf
mkisofs -r -o cd_image source_directory
.fi
.RE
.PP
You can use -R instead of -r for RockRidge extensions
with different permissions.
-J gives you Joliet filenames in addition to the ISO9660 filenames.
-l uses 32-character filenames instead of 8.3 filenames.
.PP
Burn the cd like this:
.PP
.RS
.nf
cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=/dev/hdc -data cd_image
.fi
.RE
.PP
Again, use blank=all if you're writing to a used cdrw disk.
.SH RIPPING
To pull an ISO image off a CD, do something like this:
.PP
.RS
.nf
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=image.iso
.fi
.RE
.PP
