23 cdrdao creates audio and data CD-Rs in disk-at-once (DAO) mode driven
24 by a description file called toc-file. In DAO mode it is possible to
25 create non standard track pre-gaps that have other lengths than 2 sec‐
26 onds and contain nonzero audio data. This is for example useful to
27 divide live recordings into tracks where 2 second gaps would be kind of
28 irritating.
29 Instead of a toc-file a cue file (used by a famous DOS/Windows master‐
31 ing tool) may be used. See the CUE FILES section for more details.
32
35 The first argument must be one of the following commands:
36 show-toc
38 Print out a summary about what will be written to the CD-R.
39 toc-info
41 Prints out short toc-file summary.
42 toc-size
44 Prints total number of blocks for toc.
45 read-toc
47 Analyze each track of the inserted CD and create a toc-file that
48 can be used to make a more or less exact copy of the CD. This
49 command does not read out the audio or data tracks, use read-cd
50 for this purpose.
51 You can specify a filename for the data file via the --datafile
53 option.
54 read-cd
56 Copies all tracks of the inserted CD to an image file and cre‐
57 ates a corresponding toc-file. The name of the image file
58 defaults to "data.bin" if no --datafile option is given.
59 read-cddb
61 Tries to retrieve title and artist data from a CDDB server for
62 the CD represented by the given toc-file. The retrieved data is
63 added as CD-TEXT data for language 0 to the toc-file. Existing
64 CD-TEXT data for language 0 will be overwritten.
65 show-data
67 Print out all samples that would be written to the CD-R. Each
68 line contains the sample number (starting at 0) and the decimal
69 sample value for the left and right channel. Useful to check if
70 the byte order of audio files is correct.
71 read-test
73 Check if all data can be read from the audio files that are
74 defined in the toc-file. This will also check the communication
75 with the slave process that is responsible for writing the audio
76 data to the CD-recorder. Mainly used for testing.
77 disk-info
79 Shows information about the inserted CD-R. If the CD-R has an
80 open session it will also print the start of the last and cur‐
81 rent session which is used by mkisofs to create an image for a
82 second or higher session.
83 discid Prints out CDDB information.
85 msinfo Shows information required for creating multi session disks with
87 mkisofs. The output is meant for processing by scripts.
88 drive-info
90 Shows drive information.
91 unlock Tries to unlock the recorder device after a failed write or sim‐
93 ulation run. If you cannot eject the CD after a cdrdao run try
94 this command.
95 blank Blanks a CD-RW. The CD-RW is minimally blanked by default. Use
97 option --blank-mode to select another blanking mode. Sometimes
98 the blanking speed must be manually reduced for a successful
99 blanking operation. Use option --speed to select another blank‐
100 ing speed.
101 scanbus
103 Scan for devices.
104 simulate
106 Like write but laser stays cold. It is a shortcut for write
107 --simulate.
108 write Write the CD-R according to the specifications in the toc-file.
110 copy Performs all steps to copy a CD. The device containing the
112 source CD must be specified with option --source-device and the
113 recorder device with option --device. If only a single device
114 is available the option --source-device must be omitted and cdr‐
115 dao will prompt to insert the CD-R after an image of the source
116 CD was created.
117 The image file with name "cddata<pid>.bin" will be created in
119 the current working directory if no --datafile option is given.
120 The created image will be removed after it has been written.
121 If option --on-the-fly is given no image file is created and the
123 data will be directly piped from the reading device to the CD
124 recorder.
125
129 --device [prot:]bus,id,lun
130 Sets the SCSI address of the CD-recorder in form of a bus/id/lun
131 triple, e.g. '0,2,0' for the logical unit 0 of SCSI device with
132 ID 2 on bus 0. ATAPI devices can be specified by using the pre‐
133 fix 'ATAPI:', e.g. 'ATAPI:0,0,0'. On some systems a device node
134 may be specified directly, e.g. '/dev/sg0' on Linux systems.
135 Linux 2.6 users may also try the newer ATAPI interface with the
136 'ATA:' prefix.
137 --source-device [prot:]bus,id,lun
139 Like above but used for the copy command to specify the source
140 device.
141 --driver driver-id:option-flags
143 Force usage of specified driver instead of the automatically
144 determined driver. Available driver IDs:
145 cdd2600, plextor, plextor-scan, generic-mmc, generic-mmc-raw,
146 ricoh-mp6200, yamaha-cdr10x, teac-cdr55, sony-cdu920, sony-
147 cdu948, taiyo-yuden, toshiba.
148 Specifying an illegal driver ID will give a list of available
149 drivers. Option flags may be used to modify the behavior of
150 some drivers. See README for details.
151 --source-driver driver-id:option-flags
153 Like above but used for the device specified with option
154 --source-device.
155 --speed value
157 Set the writing speed to value. Default is the highest possible
158 speed.
159 --blank-mode mode
161 Sets the blanking mode. Available modes are full and minimal.
162 Please consider that the data of minimally blanked disks may be
163 easily recovered. Use the full blanking mode for completely
164 erasing all data. The default blanking mode is minimal.
165 --datafile file
167 Used for read-toc, read-cd and copy. Set the default data file
168 placed in the toc-file by read-toc. Use "-" to indicate STDIN.
169 For commands read-cd and copy it specifies the name of the cre‐
170 ated image file.
171 --read-raw
173 Only used for commands read-cd and read-toc. All data sectors
174 will be written as 2352 byte blocks including the sector header
175 and L-EC data to the image file. The track mode will be set to
176 MODE1_RAW or MODE2_RAW in the created toc-file.
177 --read-subchan mode
179 Used by commands read-cd, read-toc and copy. Specifies the type
180 of sub-channel data that is extracted from the source CD and
181 written to the track image or copied to the destination CD.
182 Mode may be rw for reading packed R-W sub-channel data (de-
183 interleaved and error corrected) and rw_raw for reading raw R-W
184 sub-channel data (not de-interleaved, not error corrected, L-EC
185 data included in the track image). If this option is not speci‐
186 fied no sub-channel data will be extracted.
187 --no-mode2-mixed
189 Only used for commands read-cd and read-toc. If we have
190 MODE2_FORM1 or MODE2_FORM2, don't extract it as MODE2_FORM_MIX.
191 toc-file.
192 --tao-source
194 This option indicates to the commands read-toc and read-cd that
195 the source CD was written in TAO mode. It will be assumed that
196 the pre-gap length between all tracks (except between two audio
197 tracks) is the standard 150 blocks plus the number of link
198 blocks (usually 2). The number of link blocks can be controlled
199 with option --tao-source-adjust.
200 Use this option only if read-toc or read-cd give error messages
202 in the transition areas between two tracks. If you use this
203 option with pressed CDs or CDs written in DAO mode you will get
204 wrong results.
205 --tao-source-adjust link-blocks
207 Specifies the number of link blocks for tracks written in TAO
208 mode. This option has only an effect if option --tao-source is
209 given.
210 --fast-toc
212 Only used for command read-toc. This option suppresses the pre-
213 gap length and index mark extraction which speeds up the read-
214 toc process. Standard 2 second pre-gaps (but no silence!) will
215 be placed into the toc-file. The resulting CD will sound like
216 the source CD. Only the CD player's display will behave slightly
217 different in the transition area between two tracks.
218 This option might help, too, if read-toc fails with your drive
220 otherwise.
221 --buffers buffer-count
224 Specifies the number of buffers that are allocated to avoid buf‐
225 fer under runs. The minimal buffer count is fixed to 10,
226 default is 32 except on FreeBSD systems, on which default is 20.
227 Each buffer holds 1 second of audio data so that dividing buf‐
228 fer-count by the writing speed gives the maximum time for which
229 reading of audio data may be stalled.
230 --multi
232 If this option is given the session will not be closed after the
233 audio data is successfully written. It is possible to append
234 another session on such disks, e.g. to create a CD-EXTRA.
235 --overburn
237 By default cdrdao will not allow to write more data on a medium
238 than specified by the current medium. This option allows one to
239 ignore this condition.
240 --eject
242 Eject the CD-R after writing or write simulation.
243 --swap Swap the byte order of all samples that are send to the CD-
245 recorder.
246 --session session-nr
248 Used for read-toc and read-cd to specify the session which
249 should be processed on multi session CDs.
250 --reload
252 Indicates that the tray may be opened before writing without
253 prompting the user to reset the disk status after a simulation
254 run.
255 --force
257 Forces the execution of an operation that otherwise would not be
258 performed.
259 --paranoia-mode mode
261 Sets the correction mode for digital audio extraction. 0: No
262 checking, data is copied directly from the drive. 1: Perform
263 overlapped reading to avoid jitter. 2: Like 1 but with addi‐
264 tional checks of the read audio data. 3: Like 2 but with addi‐
265 tional scratch detection and repair.
266 The extraction speed reduces from 0 to 3.
268 Default is the full paranoia mode (3).
270 --keepimage
272 If a CD is copied with command copy this option will cause that
273 the created image is not removed after the copy process has fin‐
274 ished.
275 --on-the-fly
277 Perform CD copy on the fly without creating an image file.
278 --with-cddb
280 Enables the automatic fetching of CDDB data for use as CD-TEXT
281 data for commands copy, read-toc and read-cd.
282 --cddb-servers server-list
284 Sets space or ',' separated list of CDDB servers used for com‐
285 mand read-cddb or for commands where the --with-cddb option is
286 active. A server entry may have the following forms:
287 <server>
289 Connect to <server>, default cddbp port (888), use cddbp proto‐
290 col.
291 <server>:<port>
293 Connect to <server>, port <port>, use cddbp protocol.
294 <server>:<cgi-bin-path>
296 Connect to <server>, default http port (80), use http protocol,
297 url: <cgi-bin-path>.
298 <server>:<port>:<cgi-bin-path>
300 Connect to <server>, port <port>, use http protocol, url: <cgi-
301 bin-path>.
302 <server>:<port>:<cgi-bin-path>:<proxy-server>
304 Connect to <proxy-server>, default http port (80), use http pro‐
305 tocol, url: http://<server>:<port>/<cgi-bin-path>.
306 <server>:<port>:<cgi-bin-path>:<proxy-server>:<proxy-port>
308 Connect to <proxy-server>, port <proxy-port>, use http protocol,
309 url: http://<server>:<port>/<cgi-bin-path>.
310 The <cgi-bin-path> is usually "/~cddb/cddb.cgi".
312 All servers of the server list will be tried in the given order
314 until a successful connection can be established. For http proxy
315 servers the first successful connected http proxy server will be
316 used independent of the ability to connect to the target http
317 server.
318 Example: freedb.freedb.org:/~cddb/cddb.cgi
320 --cddb-timeout timeout
322 Sets the timeout in seconds used for connections to CDDB
323 servers.
324 --cddb-directory directory
326 Specifies the local CDDB database directory where fetched CDDB
327 records will be stored. If this option is not given a fetched
328 CDDB record will not be stored locally.
329 --tmpdir directory
331 Specifies the directory in which to store temporary data files
332 created from decoding MP3 and Ogg Vorbis files. By default,
333 "/tmp" is used.
334 --keep Upon exit from cdrdao, do not delete temporary WAV files created
336 from MP3 and Ogg Vorbis files.
337 --save Saves some of the current options to the settings file
339 "$HOME/.cdrdao" and exit. See section ´SETTINGS´ for more
340 details.
341 -n Suppresses the 10 second pause before writing or simulating.
343 -v verbose-level
345 Sets verbose level. Levels > 2 are debug levels which produce a
346 lot of output.
347
350 The toc-file describes what data is written to the CD-R and allows con‐
351 trol over track/index positions, pre-gaps and sub-channel information.
352 It is a simple text file, use your favorite text editor to create it.
353 A toc-file contains an optional header and a sequence of track specifi‐
355 cations. Comments starting with '//' reaching until end of line can be
356 placed anywhere.
357 Header
360 CATALOG "ddddddddddddd"
361 Specifies the optional catalog number of the CD. The string must
362 contain exactly 13 digits.
363 The following flags specify the type of session that will be created.
365 It is used to create the correct CD-TOC format and to check the consis‐
366 tency of the track modes for the desired session type. If multiple
367 flags are given the last one will take effect.
368 CD_DA The disc contains only audio tracks.
370 CD_ROM The disc contains just mode 1 tracks or mode 1 and audio tracks
372 (mixed mode CD).
373 CD_ROM_XA
375 The disc contains mode 2 form 1 or mode 2 form 2 tracks. Audio
376 tracks are allowed, too. This type must be used if multi session
377 disks are created (option --multi).
378 CD_TEXT { ... }
380 Defines global CD-TEXT data like the album title and the used
381 languages. See the CD-TEXT section below for the syntax of the
382 CD-TEXT block contents.
383 Track Specification
385 TRACK <track-mode> [<sub-channel-mode>]
386 Starts a new track, the track number is incremented by 1. The
387 length of a track must be at least 4 seconds. The block length
388 of the input data depends on the <track-mode>: AUDIO: 2352 bytes
389 (588 samples), MODE1: 2048 bytes, MODE1_RAW: 2352 bytes, MODE2:
390 2336 bytes, MODE2_FORM1: 2048 bytes, MODE2_FORM2: 2324 bytes,
391 MODE2_FORM_MIX: 2336 bytes including the sub-header, MODE2_RAW:
392 2352 bytes. The <sub-channel-mode> is optional. If given it
393 specifies the type of sub-channel data for each sector. RW:
394 packed R-W sub-channel data (96 bytes, L-EC data will be gener‐
395 ated if required), RW_RAW: raw R-W sub-channel data (interleaved
396 and L-EC data already calculated, 96 bytes). The block length is
397 increased by the sub-channel data length if a <sub-channel-mode>
398 is specified. If the input data length is not a multiple of the
399 block length it will be padded with zeros.
400 The following flags may follow the track start statement. They are used
402 to set sub-channel information for the current track. Each flag is
403 optional. If not given the following defaults are used: copy not per‐
404 mitted, no pre emphasis, two channel audio, no ISRC code.
405 [ NO ] COPY
407 Sets or clears the copy permitted flag.
408 [ NO ] PRE_EMPHASIS
410 Sets or clears the pre emphasis flag (only for audio tracks).
411 TWO_CHANNEL_AUDIO
413 Indicates that track contains two channel audio data (only for
414 audio tracks).
415 FOUR_CHANNEL_AUDIO
417 Indicates that track contains four channel audio data (only for
418 audio tracks).
419 ISRC "CCOOOYYSSSSS"
421 Sets ISRC code of track (only for audio tracks).
422 C: country code (upper case letters or digits)
423 O: owner code (upper case letters or digits)
424 Y: year (digits)
425 S: serial number (digits)
426 An optional CD-TEXT block that defines the CD-TEXT data for this track
428 may follow. See the CD-TEXT section below for the syntax of the CD-TEXT
429 block contents.
430 CD_TEXT { ... }
432 At least one of the following statements must appear to specify the
434 data for the current track. Lengths and start positions may be
435 expressed in samples (1/44100 seconds) for audio tracks or in bytes for
436 data tracks. It is also possible to give the length in blocks with the
437 MSF format 'MM:SS:FF' specifying minutes, seconds and frames (0 <= 'FF'
438 < 75) . A frame equals one block.
439 If more than one statement is used the track will be composed by con‐
441 catenating the data in the specified order.
442 SILENCE <length>
444 Adds zero audio data of specified length to the current audio
445 track. Useful to create silent pre-gaps.
446 ZERO <length>
448 Adds zero data to data tracks. Must be used to define pre- or
449 post-gaps between tracks of different mode.
450 [ FILE | AUDIOFILE ] "<filename>" <start> [ <length> ]
452 Adds the audio data of specified file to the current audio
453 track. It is possible to select a portion of an audio file with
454 <start> and <length> which allows non destructive cutting. The
455 first sample of an audio file is addressed with <start> = 0. If
456 <length> is omitted or set to 0 all audio data from <start>
457 until the end of file is used.
458 Audio files may have raw or WAVE format with 16 bits per sample,
460 44.1 kHz sampling rate, stereo. Raw files must have the layout
461 'MSBLeft LSBLeft MSBRight LSBRight ...' (big endian byte order).
462 WAVE files are expected to have little endian byte order. The
463 option --swap reverses the expected byte order for all raw and
464 WAVE files. Only filenames with a ".wav" ending are treated as
465 WAVE files, all other names are assumed to be raw audio files.
466 Use tools like sox(1) to convert other file formats to supported
467 formats.
468 Specifying a "-" as filename causes data to be read from STDIN.
470 Currently only raw files are supported from STDIN.
471 If you are unsure about the byte order of your audio files try
473 the command 'show-data'. If the byte order is correct you will
474 see a sequence of increasing or decreasing numbers for both
475 channels. Otherwise numbers are jumping between very high and
476 low values - high volume static.
477 DATAFILE "<filename>" [ <length> ]
479 Adds data from given file to the current data track. If <length>
480 is omitted the actual file length will be used.
481 FIFO "<fifo path>" <length>
483 Adds data from specified FIFO path to the current audio or data
484 track. <length> must specify the amount of data that will be
485 read from the FIFO. The value is always in terms of bytes
486 (scalar value) or in terms of the block length (MSF value).
487 START [ MM:SS:FF ]
489 Defines the length of the pre-gap (position where index switches
490 from 0 to 1). If the MSF value is omitted the current track
491 length is used. If the current track length is not a multiple of
492 the block length the pre-gap length will be rounded up to next
493 block boundary.
494 If no START statement is given the track will not have a pre-
496 gap.
497 PREGAP MM:SS:FF
499 This is an alternate way to specify a pre-gap with zero audio
500 data. It may appear before the first SILENCE, ZERO or FILE
501 statement. Either PREGAP or START can be used within a track
502 specification. It is equivalent to the sequence
503 SILENCE MM:SS:FF
504 START
505 for audio tracks or
506 ZERO MM:SS:FF
507 START
508 for data tracks.
509 Nothing prevents mixing 'DATAFILE'/'ZERO' and 'AUDIOFILE'/'SILENCE'
511 statements within the same track. The results, however, are undefined.
512 The end of a track specification may contain zero or more index incre‐
515 ment statements:
516 INDEX MM:SS:FF
518 Increments the index number at given position within the track.
519 The first statement will increment from 1 to 2. The position is
520 relative to the real track start, not counting an existing pre-
521 gap.
522 CD-TEXT Blocks
525 A CD-TEXT block may be placed in the global section to define data
526 valid for the whole CD and in each track specification of a toc-file.
527 The global section must define a language map that is used to map a
528 language-number to country codes. Up to 8 different languages can be
529 defined:
530 LANGUAGE_MAP { 0 : c1 1 : c2 ... 7 : c7 }
532 The country code may be an integer value in the range 0..255 or
533 one of the following countries (the corresponding integer value
534 is placed in braces behind the token): EN(9, English)
535 It is just necessary to define a mapping for the used languages.
536 If no mapping exists for a language-number the data for this language
538 will be ignored.
539 For each language a language block must exist that defines the actual
541 data for a certain language.
542 LANGUAGE language-number { cd-text-item cd-text-data cd-text-item cd-
544 text-data ... }
545 Defines the CD-TEXT items for given language-number which must
546 be defined in the language map.
547 The cd-text-data may be either a string enclosed by " or binary data
549 like
550 { 0, 10, 255, ... }
551 where each integer number must be in the range 0..255.
552 The cd-text-item may be one of the following:
553 TITLE String data: Title of CD or track.
555 PERFORMER
557 String data.
558 SONGWRITER
560 String data.
561 COMPOSER
563 String data.
564 ARRANGER
566 String data.
567 MESSAGE
569 String data. Message to the user.
570 DISC_ID
572 String data: Should only appear in the global CD-TEXT block. The
573 format is usually: XY12345
574 GENRE Mixture of binary data (genre code) and string data. Should only
576 appear in the global CD-TEXT block. Useful entries will be cre‐
577 ated by gcdmaster.
578 TOC_INFO1
580 Binary data: Optional table of contents 1. Should only appear in
581 the global CD-TEXT block.
582 TOC_INFO2
584 Binary data: Optional table of contents 2. Should only appear in
585 the global CD-TEXT block.
586 UPC_EAN
588 String data: This item should only appear in the global CD-TEXT
589 block. Was always an empty string on the CD-TEXT CDs I had
590 access to.
591 ISRC String data: ISRC code of track. The format is usually: CC-OOO-
593 YY-SSSSS
594 SIZE_INFO
596 Binary data: Contains summary about all CD-TEXT data and should
597 only appear in the global CD-TEXT block. The data will be auto‐
598 matically (re)created when the CD-TEXT data is written.
599 If one of the CD-TEXT items TITLE, PERFORMER, SONGWRITER, COM‐
601 POSER, ARRANGER, ISRC is defined for at least on track or in the
602 global section it must be defined for all tracks and in the
603 global section. If a DISC_ID item is defined in the global sec‐
604 tion, an ISRC entry must be defined for each track.

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

690 Some of the command line options can be stored as settings at following
691 locations. The files will be read on startup of cdrdao in that order:
692 1. /etc/cdrdao.conf
694 2. /etc/defaults/cdrdao
696 3. /etc/default/cdrdao
698 4. $HOME/.cdrdao
700 Command line options will overwrite the loaded settings. The settings
703 file contains name - value pairs separated by a colon. String values
704 must be enclosed by ". The file is automatically written if the command
705 line option --save is used but it is also possible to modify it manu‐
706 ally. Following values are defined:
707 write_device
709 Device used for operations simulate, write, copy, blank, disk-
710 info and unlock. Corresponding option: --device
711 write_driver
713 Driver (including driver options) that is used for operations
714 simulate, write, copy, blank, disk-info and unlock. Correspond‐
715 ing option: --driver
716 write_speed
718 Specifies writing speed. Corresponding option: --speed
719 write_buffers
721 Specifies fifo buffers used for recording. Corresponding option:
722 --buffers
723 read_device

735 ing option: --paranoia-mode
736 cddb_server_list
738 CDDB server list for read-cddb. Corresponding option: --cddb-
739 servers
740 cddb_timeout
742 CDDB connection timeout in seconds used by read-cddb. Corre‐
743 sponding option: --cddb-timeout
744 cddb_directory
746 Local directory where fetched CDDB records will be stored, used
747 by read-cddb. Corresponding option: --cddb-directory
748 tmp_file_dir
