[opensuse] copying music CD's
Since my Win machine crashed, and I am now stuck with XP/sp2, a lot of software no longer works, including Roxio CD Creator, which came free with a drive, and now sells for $100, I am going to put a CD recorder in my Linux machine. What is the program or command to copy a music CD, so I can play it in my car without risking damage to the original? --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

============= Just use k3b or gnomebaker to create your audio cds from ogg/mp3 files. Copying an audio cd is just as easy, just select copy from the menus. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

$ cdparanoia -B This will create a set of .wav files from your music CD. You can then use K3B / "create audio CD project" to burn them to disk. HTH Ph.

Yeah, I think you would lose plenty of music fidelity to create a CD via wav files! -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) Daemon Dancing in the Dark, an Open OS weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ UNIX is user-friendly.

Why? Sound in Windows' WAV files is encoded in the same way that a CD is: 44.1 kHz, stereo PCM. There's nothing that would be called compression. So unless you're among the oddball crowd who thinks they can here 22 kHz sounds, this is about as good as audio encoding ever needs to be.

Live and learn, I guess: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAV: Audio CDs Audio CDs do not use WAV as their sound format, using instead Red Book audio. The commonality is that both audio CDs and WAV files have the audio data encoded in PCM. WAV is a data file format for computer use that can't be understood by CD players directly. To record WAV files to an Audio CD the file headers must be stripped and the remaining PCM data written directly to the disc as individual tracks with zero padding added to match the CD's sector size. -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) Daemon Dancing in the Dark, an Open OS weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ UNIX is user-friendly.

I thought CD tracks were .WAV files. It's certainly what I get, when I copy a song from a CD. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
