Organization: Telco Consulting Date: Sun, 31 Mar 1996 21:21:19 GMT Message-ID: <Dp5HzL.24M@xenitec.on.ca> Summary: how to? Sender: news@xenitec.on.ca (xenitec.on.ca News Administrator) Lines: 20 Is there any way to read music CD tracks directly? I can play them and record them with my sound card but the quality seems poor. I would really like to be able to just transfer tracks to disk and then play them back. I know it would take incredible amounts of disk but ultimately transfering all my CDs to disk would be ideal. I looked at the source and also SCSI debug when I try and mount an audio CD. There is an error message which is in scsi/scsi_sense.c which says "Illegal mode for this track". Does this mean that it is the CD player it's self which is refusing the operation? Does this mean that the CD player will be the limiting factor in achieving this functionality? Any help would be appreciated. -Vance -- Vance Shipley, vances@xenitec.on.ca
