I thought I should forward these answers to the list since they were both quite helpful, and the I couldn't find any similar advice in the archives: On Fri, 4 May 2001 joup@bigfoot.com wrote: > I have two IDE CD/CD-RW drives and I'm trying to burn audio CDs by > recording wav files to disk and then writing those to the target blank. > The only problem is that the wav files produced are choppy and clicky. > > I've experimented with some of the dagrab options listed in the manpage, > but without much success.

I eventually discovered that using "dd" on the "/dev/acd0t?" device files produced nice copies. Using dd also lets you verify the number of blocks actually copied with the information displayed by "cdcontrol info" command. If the file sizes differ then you know you got a bad copy and need to do it over. ----- Solution 2: You can use cdda2wav that comes in the cdrecord port... I use it like this: cdda2wav -I cooked_ioctl -D /dev/acd0c -s -x -Oraw -B -v255 -S 32 works great for me... if you want wav files change the "raw" above to "wav".
