Now i have read a lot of webpages and saw that FreeBSd > doesn't really support IDE CD-RW Really? Don't know what pages you've been reading, but as I recently discovered, FreeBSD has supported IDE CD-RW's since v4.0 via burncd. Go to the ports and search for cd2mp3. I think it's in /usr/ports/audio/cd2mp3 It's a great script (that installs two ports I believe?) Easily allowed me to grab audio tracks off music CD's to wav format, which I could then toss into a directory and use burncd to write them back. Then, back to cd2mp3 to take the wav files and convert to mp3 format. Very handy! Check the man pages for burncd, pretty basic. Also... check here: http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/ In the left window, click on "burning CDs with an ATAPI CD-RW Drive" -- this should guide you through burning "data" cd's. -gf To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
