When trying to burn a music CD via K3b, I initially get:
cdrdao
-----------------------
Cdrdao version 1.1.7 - (C) Andreas Mueller <andreas@daneb.de>
SCSI interface library - (C) Joerg Schilling
Paranoia DAE library - (C) Monty
Check
http://cdrdao.sourceforge.net/drives.html#dt for current driver tables.
Using libscg version 'andreas-0.5-UNIXWARE_Patch'
0,0,0: SONY CD-RW CRX300E Rev: KYS1
ERROR: No driver found for 'SONY CD-RW CRX300E', available drivers:
cdd2600
generic-mmc
generic-mmc-raw
plextor
plextor-scan
ricoh-mp6200
sony-cdu920
sony-cdu948
taiyo-yuden
teac-cdr55
toshiba
yamaha-cdr10x
For all recent recorder models either the 'generic-mmc' or
the 'generic-mmc-raw' driver should work.
Use option '--driver' to force usage of a driver, e.g.: --driver generic-mmc
ERROR: Cannot setup device 0,0,0.
I have a new Sony DVD CD R/W, so the generic-mmc driver should work.
So then I try adding "--driver generic-mmc" to the parameter list for cdrdao (within K3b's programs setup), but K3b then gives an error "ERROR: Illegal option: --driver gereric-mmc" despite the fact that this is the suggested parameter. I have tried variations of this parameter ... enclosing it in quotes, etc.. I also tried generic-mmc-raw driver in the same manner, and get the same errors.
I get the following output.

ERROR: Illegal option: --driver generic-mmc

Usage: /usr/bin/cdrdao write [options] toc-file
options:
--device <x,y,z> - sets SCSI device of CD-writer
(default: 0,0,0)
--driver <id> - force usage of specified driver
--simulate - just perform a write simulation
--speed <writing-speed> - selects writing speed
--multi - session will not be not closed
--overburn - allow to overburn a medium
--eject - ejects cd after writing or simulation
--swap - swap byte order of audio files
--buffers # - sets fifo buffer size (min. 10)
--reload - reload the disk if necessary for writing
--force - force execution of operation
-v # - sets verbose level
-n - no pause before writing
I have not tried using cdrdao from the command line because it requires me to build a TOC file for the tracks that I want to burn, and I cannot find a syntax guide for this file. I imagine K3b builds this file on the fly for you before it shells out to cdrdao.
Any ideas, oh Linux gurus?
Thanks!
