- ===================
- NOTE: expressions in angle braces have to be substituted with
- the corresponding numerical values.
- For example: <delay in seconds> has to be substituted
- with the numerical value to be used.
- Common tasks
- ============
- NOTE: The examples used here depend on proper default settings for interface
- method and devices as specified in the Makefile. They can be overriden with
- command line parameters, but here I choose to focus on simple examples.
- Copy complete audio CDs
- 1. Copy an audio CD into wav files one per track.
- cdda2wav -B
- will produce the sample wav files (one per track)
- audio_01.wav
- audio_02.wav
- ...
- and the corresponding description files
- audio_01.inf
- audio_02.inf
- ...
- 2. Same as above but include MD-5 type signatures
- cdda2wav -B -M<length>
- 3. Same as above but use other file name ('party_cd.wav')
- cdda2wav -B -M<length> party_cd.wav
- Copy single tracks
- 1. Copy one track (eg track 6) into a wav file.
- cdda2wav -t6
- will produce a wav file including track 6
- audio.wav
- and
- audio.inf
- Copy parts of tracks
- 1. Copy from given start time to end of track
- cdda2wav -t6 -o<delay in 1/75 seconds>
- will record track 6 starting at track time <delay>/75 seconds
- from track beginning upto the end of track.
- 2. Copy from given start time and record for a given time
- cdda2wav -t6 -o<delay in 1/75 seconds> -d<time to record in seconds>
- will record track 6 starting at track time <delay>/75 seconds
- from track beginning for <time to record in seconds> seconds.
- Copy tracks into a pipe
- cdda2wav -t6 -Oraw - | audio_compressor
- will feed the audio samples (in big endian format) of track 6
- into a secondary program audio_compressor.
- (See also script cdda2mp3(.new) for a suggestion, how to process all tracks of
- an audio cd with a MPEG-Layer3 encoder (not included here).)
- Miscellaneous
- 1. Use cdda2wav as a cd player
- cdda2wav -eN -t6
- will copy the audio samples into a sound card (if sound card support
- is compiled in) and will not write any file.
- 2. Get complete information on the cd
- cdda2wav -v63 -Nd0.01
- will try to find out a media catalog number and track related
- information (ISRCs) in addition to indices. For CD-Extra discs
- limited support exists to retrieve additional information.
