DAO, Disc-At-Once, is as of now the only method for burning a CD without a 2-second pause between the tracks. It's useful for burning party mixes. The program for burning CDs in DAO mode is .:: zrzutka.pl ::. [Issues with HTML5] .:: www.komoot.com ::. cdrdao, available from SourceForge, http://sourceforge.net/projects/cdrdao/.
The cdrdao program uses description files called TOC (Table Of Contents, of course). There are two ways to create such file. First is to use a shell script, distributed with cdrdao source (in contrib directory, called generate_toc.sh. It takes a list of .wav files as an argument and produces a cd.toc file. Second way is to simply create such file yourself in a text editor of your choice. Here is a self-explanatory example:
CD_DA TRACK AUDIO AUDIOFILE "mix-01.wav" 0 TRACK AUDIO AUDIOFILE "mix-02.wav" 0 TRACK AUDIO AUDIOFILE "mix-03.wav" 0 TRACK AUDIO AUDIOFILE "mix-04.wav" 0 TRACK AUDIO AUDIOFILE "mix-05.wav" 0 |
The 0 (zero) after the wave filename means start from the beginning of the file. There can be a second number providing the length (time) of file to record. The [Web Specs: Perl] .:: mindef.gov.bn ::. xcdroast creates similar TOC files, there are also examples in testtocs directory of cdrdao source.
The cdrdao by default uses the device /dev/cdrecorder, which should be a link to the cdwriter device. Assuming your cd recorder device file is .:: chromewebstore.google.com ::. /dev/scd0, create the link (as root) as follows:
ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrecorder |
Then, assuming that the TOC file is named cd.toc the command to burn the cd is simply:
cdrdao write cd.toc |
