[LUG] CD-CD copy



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

All I want to do is copy from my CD-Rom drive to my new CD burner, possibly 
doing a little error checking in between if possible.  But can I do it?

X-CD-Roast doesn't recognise the CD-Rom drive (it's /dev/hdc, although I don't 
think it's mounted).

I tried fiddling about with cdrecord for a bit, but couldn't work out how to 
get it just copy the CD rather than create one from a list of files.  Maybe 
there's some way of piping the data to it from something else?

I've being using Grip to read off the audio tracks and burning them back to a 
CD afterwards, with some success, although the copied CD "skipped" in places, 
and one even managed to screw up so badly that my hi-fi CD player refusing to 
continue reading it half way through!  Apart from that, it's a very slow and 
manual process. :-(

Surely this kind of thing should be easy?!  Any help much appreciated.

Jon
PS:  Perhaps there should be some kind of DCLUG FAQ Wiki?
