22 cdrdao creates audio and data CD-Rs in disk-at-once (DAO) mode driven
23 by a description file called toc-file. In DAO mode it is possible to
24 create non standard track pre-gaps that have other lengths than 2 sec‐
25 onds and contain nonzero audio data. This is for example useful to
26 divide live recordings into tracks where 2 second gaps would be kind of
27 irritating.
28 Instead of a toc-file a cue file (used by a famous DOS/Windows master‐
30 ing tool) may be used. See the CUE FILES section for more details.
31
34 The first argument must be one of the following commands:
35 show-toc
37 Print out a summary about what will be written to the CD-R.
38 read-toc
40 Analyze each track of the inserted CD and create a toc-file that
41 can be used to make a more or less exact copy of the CD. This
42 command does not read out the audio or data tracks, use read-cd
43 for this purpose.
44 You can specify a filename for the data file via the --datafile
46 option.
47 read-cd
49 Copies all tracks of the inserted CD to an image file and cre‐
50 ates a corresponding toc-file. The name of the image file
51 defaults to "data.bin" if no --datafile option is given.
52 read-cddb
54 Tries to retrieve title and artist data from a CDDB server for
55 the CD represented by the given toc-file. The retrieved data is
56 added as CD-TEXT data for language 0 to the toc-file. Existing
57 CD-TEXT data for language 0 will be overwritten.
58 show-data
60 Print out all samples that would be written to the CD-R. Each
61 line contains the sample number (starting at 0) and the decimal
62 sample value for the left and right channel. Useful to check if
63 the byte order of audio files is correct.
64 read-test
66 Check if all data can be read from the audio files that are
67 defined in the toc-file. This will also check the communication
68 with the slave process that is responsible for writing the audio
69 data to the CD-recorder. Mainly used for testing.
70 disk-info
72 Shows information about the inserted CD-R. If the CD-R has an
73 open session it will also print the start of the last and cur‐
74 rent session which is used by mkisofs to create an image for a
75 second or higher session.
76 msinfo Shows information required for creating multi session disks with
78 mkisofs. The output is meant for processing by scripts.
79 unlock Tries to unlock the recorder device after a failed write or sim‐
81 ulation run. If you cannot eject the CD after a cdrdao run try
82 this command.
83 blank Blanks a CD-RW. The CD-RW is minimally blanked by default. Use
85 option --blank-mode to select another blanking mode. Sometimes
86 the blanking speed must be manually reduced for a successful
87 blanking operation. Use option --speed to select another blank‐
88 ing speed.
89 simulate
91 Like write but laser stays cold. It is a shortcut for write
92 --simulate.
93 write Write the CD-R according to the specifications in the toc-file.
95 copy Performs all steps to copy a CD. The device containing the
97 source CD must be specified with option --source-device and the
98 recorder device with option --device. If only a single device
99 is available the option --source-device must be omitted and cdr‐
100 dao will prompt to insert the CD-R after an image of the source
101 CD was created.
102 The image file with name "cddata<pid>.bin" will be created in
104 the current working directory if no --datafile option is given.
105 The created image will be removed after it has been written.
106 If option --on-the-fly is given no image file is created and the
108 data will be directly piped from the reading device to the CD
109 recorder.
110
114 --device [prot:]bus,id,lun
115 Sets the SCSI address of the CD-recorder in form of a bus/id/lun
116 triple, e.g. '0,2,0' for the logical unit 0 of SCSI device with
117 ID 2 on bus 0. ATAPI devices can be specified by using the pre‐
118 fix 'ATAPI:', e.g. 'ATAPI:0,0,0'. On some systems a device node
119 may be specified directly, e.g. '/dev/sg0' on Linux systems.
120 Linux 2.6 users may also try the newer ATAPI interface with the
121 'ATA:' prefix.
122 --source-device [prot:]bus,id,lun
124 Like above but used for the copy command to specify the source
125 device.
126 --driver driver-id:option-flags
128 Force usage of specified driver instead of the automatically
129 determined driver. Available driver IDs:
130 cdd2600, plextor, plextor-scan, generic-mmc, generic-mmc-raw,
131 ricoh-mp6200, yamaha-cdr10x, teac-cdr55, sony-cdu920, sony-
132 cdu948, taiyo-yuden, toshiba.
133 Specifying an illegal driver ID will give a list of available
134 drivers. Option flags may be used to modify the behavior of
135 some drivers. See README for details.
136 --source-driver driver-id:option-flags
138 Like above but used for the device specified with option
139 --source-device.
140 --speed value
142 Set the writing speed to value. Default is the highest possible
143 speed.
144 --blank-mode mode
146 Sets the blanking mode. Available modes are full and minimal.
147 Please consider that the data of minimally blanked disks may be
148 easily recovered. Use the full blanking mode for completely
149 erasing all data. The default blanking mode is minimal.
150 --datafile file
152 Used for read-toc, read-cd and copy. Set the default data file
153 placed in the toc-file by read-toc. Use "-" to indicate STDIN.
154 For commands read-cd and copy it specifies the name of the cre‐
155 ated image file.
156 --read-raw
158 Only used for commands read-cd and read-toc. All data sectors
159 will be written as 2352 byte blocks including the sector header
160 and L-EC data to the image file. The track mode will be set to
161 MODE1_RAW or MODE2_RAW in the created toc-file.
162 --read-subchan mode
164 Used by commands read-cd, read-toc and copy. Specifies the type
165 of sub-channel data that is extracted from the source CD and
166 written to the track image or copied to the destination CD.
167 Mode may be rw for reading packed R-W sub-channel data (de-
168 interleaved and error corrected) and rw_raw for reading raw R-W
169 sub-channel data (not de-interleaved, not error corrected, L-EC
170 data included in the track image). If this option is not speci‐
171 fied no sub-channel data will be extracted.
172 --no-mode2-mixed
174 Only used for commands read-cd and read-toc. If we have
175 MODE2_FORM1 or MODE2_FORM2, don't extract it as MODE2_FORM_MIX.
176 toc-file.
177 --tao-source
179 This option indicates to the commands read-toc and read-cd that
180 the source CD was written in TAO mode. It will be assumed that
181 the pre-gap length between all tracks (except between two audio
182 tracks) is the standard 150 blocks plus the number of link
183 blocks (usually 2). The number of link blocks can be controlled
184 with option --tao-source-adjust.
185 Use this option only if read-toc or read-cd give error messages
187 in the transition areas between two tracks. If you use this
188 option with pressed CDs or CDs written in DAO mode you will get
189 wrong results.
190 --tao-source-adjust link-blocks
192 Specifies the number of link blocks for tracks written in TAO
193 mode. This option has only an effect if option --tao-source is
194 given.
195 --fast-toc
197 Only used for command read-toc. This option suppresses the pre-
198 gap length and index mark extraction which speeds up the read-
199 toc process. Standard 2 second pre-gaps (but no silence!) will
200 be placed into the toc-file. The resulting CD will sound like
201 the source CD. Only the CD player's display will behave slightly
202 different in the transition area between two tracks.
203 This option might help, too, if read-toc fails with your drive
205 otherwise.
206 --buffers buffer-count
209 Specifies the number of buffers that are allocated to avoid buf‐
210 fer under runs. The minimal buffer count is fixed to 10,
211 default is 32 except on FreeBSD systems, on which default is 20.
212 Each buffer holds 1 second of audio data so that dividing buf‐
213 fer-count by the writing speed gives the maximum time for which
214 reading of audio data may be stalled.
215 --multi
217 If this option is given the session will not be closed after the
218 audio data is successfully written. It is possible to append
219 another session on such disks, e.g. to create a CD-EXTRA.
220 --overburn
222 By default cdrdao will not allow to write more data on a medium
223 than specified by the current medium. This option allows to
224 ignore this condition.
225 --eject
227 Eject the CD-R after writing or write simulation.
228 --swap Swap the byte order of all samples that are send to the CD-
230 recorder.
231 --session session-nr
233 Used for read-toc and read-cd to specify the session which
234 should be processed on multi session CDs.
235 --reload
237 Indicates that the tray may be opened before writing without
238 prompting the user to reset the disk status after a simulation
239 run.
240 --force
242 Forces the execution of an operation that otherwise would not be
243 performed.
244 --paranoia-mode mode
246 Sets the correction mode for digital audio extraction. 0: No
247 checking, data is copied directly from the drive. 1: Perform
248 overlapped reading to avoid jitter. 2: Like 1 but with addi‐
249 tional checks of the read audio data. 3: Like 2 but with addi‐
250 tional scratch detection and repair.
251 The extraction speed reduces from 0 to 3.
253 Default is the full paranoia mode (3).
255 --keepimage
257 If a CD is copied with command copy this option will cause that
258 the created image is not removed after the copy process has fin‐
259 ished.
260 --on-the-fly
262 Perform CD copy on the fly without creating an image file.
263 --with-cddb
265 Enables the automatic fetching of CDDB data for use as CD-TEXT
266 data for commands copy, read-toc and read-cd.
267 --cddb-servers server-list
269 Sets space or ',' separated list of CDDB servers used for com‐
270 mand read-cddb or for commands where the --with-cddb option is
271 active. A server entry may have the following forms:
272 <server>
274 Connect to <server>, default cddbp port (888), use cddbp proto‐
275 col.
276 <server>:<port>
278 Connect to <server>, port <port>, use cddbp protocol.
279 <server>:<cgi-bin-path>
281 Connect to <server>, default http port (80), use http protocol,
282 url: <cgi-bin-path>.
283 <server>:<port>:<cgi-bin-path>
285 Connect to <server>, port <port>, use http protocol, url: <cgi-
286 bin-path>.
287 <server>:<port>:<cgi-bin-path>:<proxy-server>
289 Connect to <proxy-server>, default http port (80), use http pro‐
290 tocol, url: http://<server>:<port>/<cgi-bin-path>.
291 <server>:<port>:<cgi-bin-path>:<proxy-server>:<proxy-port>
293 Connect to <proxy-server>, port <proxy-port>, use http protocol,
294 url: http://<server>:<port>/<cgi-bin-path>.
295 The <cgi-bin-path> is usually "/~cddb/cddb.cgi".
297 All servers of the server list will be tried in the given order
299 until a successful connection can be established. For http proxy
300 servers the first successful connected http proxy server will be
301 used independent of the ability to connect to the target http
302 server.
303 Example: freedb.freedb.org:/~cddb/cddb.cgi
305 --cddb-timeout timeout
307 Sets the timeout in seconds used for connections to CDDB
308 servers.
309 --cddb-directory directory
311 Specifies the local CDDB database directory where fetched CDDB
312 records will be stored. If this option is not given a fetched
313 CDDB record will not be stored locally.
314 --tmpdir directory
316 Specifies the directory in which to store temporary data files
317 created from decoding MP3 and Ogg Vorbis files. By default,
318 "/tmp" is used.
319 --keep Upon exit from cdrdao, do not delete temporary WAV files created
321 from MP3 and Ogg Vorbis files.
322 --save Saves some of the current options to the settings file
324 "$HOME/.cdrdao" and exit. See section ´SETTINGS´ for more
325 details.
326 -n Suppresses the 10 second pause before writing or simulating.
328 -v verbose-level
330 Sets verbose level. Levels > 2 are debug levels which produce a
331 lot of output.
332
335 The toc-file describes what data is written to the CD-R and allows con‐
336 trol over track/index positions, pre-gaps and sub-channel information.
337 It is a simple text file, use your favorite text editor to create it.
338 A toc-file contains an optional header and a sequence of track specifi‐
340 cations. Comments starting with '//' reaching until end of line can be
341 placed anywhere.
342 Header
345 CATALOG "ddddddddddddd"
346 Specifies the optional catalog number of the CD. The string must
347 contain exactly 13 digits.
348 The following flags specify the type of session that will be created.
350 It is used to create the correct CD-TOC format and to check the consis‐
351 tency of the track modes for the desired session type. If multiple
352 flags are given the last one will take effect.
353 CD_DA The disc contains only audio tracks.
355 CD_ROM The disc contains just mode 1 tracks or mode 1 and audio tracks
357 (mixed mode CD).
358 CD_ROM_XA
360 The disc contains mode 2 form 1 or mode 2 form 2 tracks. Audio
361 tracks are allowed, too. This type must be used if multi session
362 disks are created (option --multi).
363 CD_TEXT { ... }
365 Defines global CD-TEXT data like the album title and the used
366 languages. See the CD-TEXT section below for the syntax of the
367 CD-TEXT block contents.
368 Track Specification
370 TRACK <track-mode> [<sub-channel-mode>]
371 Starts a new track, the track number is incremented by 1. The
372 length of a track must be at least 4 seconds. The block length
373 of the input data depends on the <track-mode>: AUDIO: 2352 bytes
374 (588 samples), MODE1: 2048 bytes, MODE1_RAW: 2352 bytes, MODE2:
375 2336 bytes, MODE2_FORM1: 2048 bytes, MODE2_FORM2: 2324 bytes,
376 MODE2_FORM_MIX: 2336 bytes including the sub-header, MODE2_RAW:
377 2352 bytes. The <sub-channel-mode> is optional. If given it
378 specifies the type of sub-channel data for each sector. RW:
379 packed R-W sub-channel data (96 bytes, L-EC data will be gener‐
380 ated if required), RW_RAW: raw R-W sub-channel data (interleaved
381 and L-EC data already calculated, 96 bytes). The block length is
382 increased by the sub-channel data length if a <sub-channel-mode>
383 is specified. If the input data length is not a multiple of the
384 block length it will be padded with zeros.
385 The following flags may follow the track start statement. They are used
387 to set sub-channel information for the current track. Each flag is
388 optional. If not given the following defaults are used: copy not per‐
389 mitted, no pre emphasis, two channel audio, no ISRC code.
390 [ NO ] COPY
392 Sets or clears the copy permitted flag.
393 [ NO ] PRE_EMPHASIS
395 Sets or clears the pre emphasis flag (only for audio tracks).
396 TWO_CHANNEL_AUDIO
398 Indicates that track contains two channel audio data (only for
399 audio tracks).
400 FOUR_CHANNEL_AUDIO
402 Indicates that track contains four channel audio data (only for
403 audio tracks).
404 ISRC "CCOOOYYSSSSS"
406 Sets ISRC code of track (only for audio tracks).
407 C: country code (upper case letters or digits)
408 O: owner code (upper case letters or digits)
409 Y: year (digits)
410 S: serial number (digits)
411 An optional CD-TEXT block that defines the CD-TEXT data for this track
413 may follow. See the CD-TEXT section below for the syntax of the CD-TEXT
414 block contents.
415 CD_TEXT { ... }
417 At least one of the following statements must appear to specify the
419 data for the current track. Lengths and start positions may be
420 expressed in samples (1/44100 seconds) for audio tracks or in bytes for
421 data tracks. It is also possible to give the length in blocks with the
422 MSF format 'MM:SS:FF' specifying minutes, seconds and frames (0 <= 'FF'
423 < 75) . A frame equals one block.
424 If more than one statement is used the track will be composed by con‐
426 catenating the data in the specified order.
427 SILENCE <length>
429 Adds zero audio data of specified length to the current audio
430 track. Useful to create silent pre-gaps.
431 ZERO <length>
433 Adds zero data to data tracks. Must be used to define pre- or
434 post-gaps between tracks of different mode.
435 [ FILE | AUDIOFILE ] "<filename>" <start> [ <length> ]
437 Adds the audio data of specified file to the current audio
438 track. It is possible to select a portion of an audio file with
439 <start> and <length> which allows non destructive cutting. The
440 first sample of an audio file is addressed with <start> = 0. If
441 <length> is omitted or set to 0 all audio data from <start>
442 until the end of file is used.
443 Audio files may have raw or WAVE format with 16 bits per sample,
445 44.1 kHz sampling rate, stereo. Raw files must have the layout
446 'MSBLeft LSBLeft MSBRight LSBRight ...' (big endian byte order).
447 WAVE files are expected to have little endian byte order. The
448 option --swap reverses the expected byte order for all raw and
449 WAVE files. Only filenames with a ".wav" ending are treated as
450 WAVE files, all other names are assumed to be raw audio files.
451 Use tools like sox(1) to convert other file formats to supported
452 formats.
453 Specifying a "-" as filename causes data to be read from STDIN.
455 Currently only raw files are supported from STDIN.
456 If you are unsure about the byte order of your audio files try
458 the command 'show-data'. If the byte order is correct you will
459 see a sequence of increasing or decreasing numbers for both
460 channels. Otherwise numbers are jumping between very high and
461 low values - high volume static.
462 DATAFILE "<filename>" [ <length> ]
464 Adds data from given file to the current data track. If <length>
465 is omitted the actual file length will be used.
466 FIFO "<fifo path>" <length>
468 Adds data from specified FIFO path to the current audio or data
469 track. <length> must specify the amount of data that will be
470 read from the FIFO. The value is always in terms of bytes
471 (scalar value) or in terms of the block length (MSF value).
472 START [ MM:SS:FF ]
474 Defines the length of the pre-gap (position where index switches
475 from 0 to 1). If the MSF value is omitted the current track
476 length is used. If the current track length is not a multiple of
477 the block length the pre-gap length will be rounded up to next
478 block boundary.
479 If no START statement is given the track will not have a pre-
481 gap.
482 PREGAP MM:SS:FF
484 This is an alternate way to specify a pre-gap with zero audio
485 data. It may appear before the first SILENCE, ZERO or FILE
486 statement. Either PREGAP or START can be used within a track
487 specification. It is equivalent to the sequence
488 SILENCE MM:SS:FF
489 START
490 for audio tracks or
491 ZERO MM:SS:FF
492 START
493 for data tracks.
494 Nothing prevents mixing 'DATAFILE'/'ZERO' and 'AUDIOFILE'/'SILENCE'
496 statements within the same track. The results, however, are undefined.
497 The end of a track specification may contain zero or more index incre‐
500 ment statements:
501 INDEX MM:SS:FF
503 Increments the index number at given position within the track.
504 The first statement will increment from 1 to 2. The position is
505 relative to the real track start, not counting an existing pre-
506 gap.
507 CD-TEXT Blocks
510 A CD-TEXT block may be placed in the global section to define data
511 valid for the whole CD and in each track specification of a toc-file.
512 The global section must define a language map that is used to map a
513 language-number to country codes. Up to 8 different languages can be
514 defined:
515 LANGUAGE_MAP { 0 : c1 1 : c2 ... 7 : c7 }
517 The country code may be an integer value in the range 0..255 or
518 one of the following countries (the corresponding integer value
519 is placed in braces behind the token): EN(9, English)
520 It is just necessary to define a mapping for the used languages.
521 If no mapping exists for a language-number the data for this language
523 will be ignored.
524 For each language a language block must exist that defines the actual
526 data for a certain language.
527 LANGUAGE language-number { cd-text-item cd-text-data cd-text-item cd-
529 text-data ... }
530 Defines the CD-TEXT items for given language-number which must
531 be defined in the language map.
532 The cd-text-data may be either a string enclosed by " or binary data
534 like
535 { 0, 10, 255, ... }
536 where each integer number must be in the range 0..255.
537 The cd-text-item may be one of the following:
538 TITLE String data: Title of CD or track.
540 PERFORMER
542 String data.
543 SONGWRITER
545 String data.
546 COMPOSER
548 String data.
549 ARRANGER
551 String data.
552 MESSAGE
554 String data. Message to the user.
555 DISC_ID
557 String data: Should only appear in the global CD-TEXT block. The
558 format is usually: XY12345
559 GENRE Mixture of binary data (genre code) and string data. Should only
561 appear in the global CD-TEXT block. Useful entries will be cre‐
562 ated by gcdmaster.
563 TOC_INFO1
565 Binary data: Optional table of contents 1. Should only appear in
566 the global CD-TEXT block.
567 TOC_INFO2
569 Binary data: Optional table of contents 2. Should only appear in
570 the global CD-TEXT block.
571 UPC_EAN
573 String data: This item should only appear in the global CD-TEXT
574 block. Was always an empty string on the CD-TEXT CDs I had
575 access to.
576 ISRC String data: ISRC code of track. The format is usually: CC-OOO-
578 YY-SSSSS
579 SIZE_INFO
581 Binary data: Contains summary about all CD-TEXT data and should
582 only appear in the global CD-TEXT block. The data will be auto‐
583 matically (re)created when the CD-TEXT data is written.
584 If one of the CD-TEXT items TITLE, PERFORMER, SONGWRITER, COM‐
586 POSER, ARRANGER, ISRC is defined for at least on track or in the
587 global section it must be defined for all tracks and in the
588 global section. If a DISC_ID item is defined in the global sec‐
589 tion, an ISRC entry must be defined for each track.

632 Composed track with data from different files. Pre-gap data and length
634 is taken from "pregapdata.wav". The first minute of "track.cdr" is
635 omitted and two seconds silence are inserted at '2:0:0'. Index will be

664 Cue files may be used wherever a toc-file is expected. The correspond‐
665 ing bin file is not taken from the FILE statement of a cue file but
666 constructed from the cue file name by replacing ".cue" by ".bin". The
667 cue file must have exactly one FILE statement.
668 Currently, following track modes are supported: MODE1/2048, MODE1/2352,
670 MODE2/2336, MODE2/2352. The CATALOG, ISRC and POSTGAP statements are
671 parsed but not evaluated, yet.

675 Some of the command line options can be stored as settings at following
676 locations. The files will be read on startup of cdrdao in that order:
677 1. /etc/cdrdao.conf
679 2. /etc/defaults/cdrdao
681 3. /etc/default/cdrdao
683 4. $HOME/.cdrdao
685 Command line options will overwrite the loaded settings. The settings
688 file contains name - value pairs separated by a colon. String values
689 must be enclosed by ". The file is automatically written if the command
690 line option --save is used but it is also possible to modify it manu‐
691 ally. Following values are defined:
692 write_device
694 Device used for operations simulate, write, copy, blank, disk-
695 info and unlock. Corresponding option: --device
696 write_driver
698 Driver (including driver options) that is used for operations
699 simulate, write, copy, blank, disk-info and unlock. Correspond‐
700 ing option: --driver
701 write_speed
703 Specifies writing speed. Corresponding option: --speed
704 write_buffers
706 Specifies fifo buffers used for recording. Corresponding option:
707 --buffers
708 read_device
710 Device used for operations read-toc, read-cd and copy. Corre‐
711 sponding option: --device or --source-device
712 read_driver
714 Driver (including driver options) used for operations read-toc,
715 read-cd and copy. Corresponding option: --driver or --source-
716 driver
717 read_paranoia_mode
719 Paranoia mode used for operations read-cd and copy. Correspond‐
720 ing option: --paranoia-mode
721 cddb_server_list
723 CDDB server list for read-cddb. Corresponding option: --cddb-
724 servers
725 cddb_timeout
727 CDDB connection timeout in seconds used by read-cddb. Corre‐
728 sponding option: --cddb-timeout
729 cddb_directory
731 Local directory where fetched CDDB records will be stored, used
732 by read-cddb. Corresponding option: --cddb-directory
733 tmp_file_dir
735 Directory where temporary WAV files will be created from decod‐
736 ing MP3 and Ogg Vorbis files. Corresponding option: --tmpdir
