I unfortunately cannot answer if freebsd can support this [yup, i got an old caddy style matcd], but i can say for sure that cd-audio disks can be transferred to disk. i know this to be true from the time on this very machine when i copied the entire song "Stairway to Heaven" to disk in order to prove conclusively to a mis-informed religious zealot that the only words said backwards in the song are "I wish it would snow" and in fact has nothing satanic in it when played backwards. everything he thought was satanic, i proved that by speaking at the proper intonation and tempo into the pc's mic and then playing it backwards, you can duplicate anything he pointed out. the "i wish it would snow" bit could not be duplicated that way, and is the only thing said backwards in the song, and is clear as day... Face it, i was bored sh*tless and drunk and getting tired of hearing his crap... wtf, the bet was for the dinner tab, i don't mess around when it comes to a free pizza and margz... it can be done.
