Creating an ISO from an audio cd with dd

H_TeXMeX_H · 09-21-2008, 09:50 AM

Oh, I see, I forgot to put the name of the toc file. Good to see that it worked. Also, cdrdao is designed for copying and imaging audio cds, but it will work for data too, however I usually use 'dd' for that, it's easier. It's just that if you use dd for audio CDs and then try to burn the resulting image, you may get variable results, the toc file insures a perfect recreation of the original audio CD.

( convert .wav files to .ogg format - I don't know how to do multiple files at once with ogg anymore)

These are just some CLI options. Here are two links:
