If you mean an 'image' copy: try dd with block size 2048. I think there's 'sdd' in the ports collection for CD's that have tricky copy protection causing dd to fail. For audio CD's, this does not work. You have to grab the audiotracks with one of the programs in the ports collection (cdda2wav comes to mind). > > What's the proper way to convert an mp3 into raw format for burning a > cd, and then what burncd options should be used? > Convert mp3 to wav with some program. Lately I used xmms ('disk writer plugin') to do this. Then I used sox to convert the (mono, 22kHz in my case) wav into a standard audio CD track. Then it's simply a matter of burning it with cdrecord. Probably it can be done smarter, but this worked. Karel.
