I have a large jazz CD collection, a lot of which may not be available forever. I'm concerned with things I've read that CDs and DVDs may be subject to deterioration. I also know that CDs can also be damaged by scratches, etc. I'm familiar with and have successfully used the CD cloning utility of k3b to create a playable (with a standard CD player) duplicate CD, but I want to copy the entire image to my hard drive, so I can keep it there in case the original becomes unplayable later. I have no interest in creating a bunch of duplicate CDs, most of which will never be used in my lifetime. When I clone directly to my hard drive, the program created two files: k3b_0.img and k3b_0.img.toc. This is fine, but I can't figure out how to write this image to another CD. I've read the documentation that comes with the program without success. -- "Just once, I wish we would encounter an alien menace that wasn't immune to bullets" -- The Brigader, "Dr. Who" -- We cannot put the face of a person on a stamp unless said person is deceased.
