I think I searched for 'burncd' on www.freebsd.org and didnt find anythin= g=20 useful, so hadn't read the handbook, the place i found help was on google= ,=20 thats why I found that 'CopyAudio' command. You are right, i probably should have picked up that you need to convert = wav=20 files.. but i didnt (: I thought perhaps because it had a specific direc= tion=20 to where to look to find out how to make iso format images, it might be a= =20 good idea to do that for wav.=20 If you guys dont think it needs to be thats fine (: just trying to be hel= pful.
