Will this work with audio? (the dd'ing, that is...)
Hm, interesting.
I'd never tried, since I always use cdparanoia to rip music. When I try I just get io errors ({DriveReady SeekComplete}.
So the answer *looks like* it's no, but I can't for the life of me think why
Yeah, I even went and tried it myself... don't work (errors like above)... no big deal, though it *would've* been kind of neat... If someone can explain *why* it fails, I'd love to hear about it... The way I understand 'dd' it doesn't care *what* it's handling it just reads/ writes blocks/bytes from here to there... Wow... that's almost lyrical: "Don't you see? d - d, just reads 'n writes blocks or bytes from here to there without a care" ... ;P ANYWAYs I just tried dd'ing a cd to an image file... It's F*cking FAST! (?) 500+ MB in ...dunno 10 secs... What's the word on r/w errors? is this at all a reliable MO? Jon
