Charles Heinrich has also written something called `cdd' which works for sucking the audio tracks right off of certain CD drives. I have a copy up on ftp://freefall.freebsd.org/pub/incoming/cdd-0.99a.tgz for those who are interested. Success/failure reports should be sent to Charles, who's name appears in the sources. -- - Jordan Hubbard President, FreeBSD Project
