What does it?
|
|
|
|
Cdrdao records audio or data CD-Rs in disk-at-once (DAO) mode based
|
|
on a textual description of the CD contents (toc-file).
|
|
|
|
Why DAO?
|
|
|
|
Recording in disk-at-once mode writes the complete disc,
|
|
i.e. lead-in, one or more tracks and lead-out, in a single step.
|
|
The commonly used track-at-once (TAO) mode writes each track
|
|
independently which requires link blocks between two tracks. Older
|
|
CD-recorder models forced a two second pause (pre-gap) between two
|
|
tracks whereas newer models allow adjusting of the pause length in
|
|
TAO mode reducing the number of link blocks to a minimal amount.
|
|
However, with TAO it is generally not possible to define the data
|
|
that is written in pre-gaps. But exactly this feature makes audio
|
|
CD recording interesting, e.g. by creating hidden bonus tracks or
|
|
track intros in pre-gaps like it is common habit on commercial CDs.
|
|
Finally, DAO recording is the only way to write data to the unused
|
|
R-W sub-channels for e.g. CD-G or CD-TEXT.
|
|
|
|
Features
|
|
|
|
* Full control over length and contents of pre-gaps (pause areas
|
|
between tracks). Pre-gaps may be completely omitted, e.g. for
|
|
dividing live recordings into tracks.
|
|
* Control over sub-channel data like:
|
|
+ catalog number
|
|
+ copy, pre-emphasis, 2-/4-channel flags
|
|
+ ISRC code
|
|
+ index marks
|
|
* Support for exact audio or data CD copying.
|
|
* Tracks may be composed of different audio files supporting non
|
|
destructive cut.
|
|
* Accepts WAVE and raw audio files.
|
|
* CD-TEXT reading and writing with drives that support it.
