[PROBLEM]
I'm trying to burn an audio CD using cdrdao (v1.2.3) and a TOC file. Calling it with the following arguments:

Code: Select all

cdrdao write --device /dev/sr0 --speed 1 --buffer-under-run-protection 1 --write-speed-control 1 --driver generic-mmc:0x10 audiocd.toc

I'm running into this error message:

Cdrdao version 1.2.3 - (C) Andreas Mueller <andreas@daneb.de>
/dev/sr0: Slimtype eNAU608 5 Rev: CL02
Using driver: Generic SCSI-3/MMC - Version 2.0 (options 0x0010)

The CD-writer is a Lite-On Slimtype, eNAU608-T04 5 external USB drive.

I've then tried to use the "generic-mmc-raw" driver. At first it looked promising, but then it ended with a "Write data failed" error:

Starting write at speed 10...
Pausing 10 seconds - hit CTRL-C to abort.
Process can be aborted with QUIT signal (usually CTRL-\).

Since the CD-drive was a new USB model, I used K3b to burn an audio CD - to know if this drive works with Linux at all. K3b was able to burn the audio CD, but it did *not* burn the CD-TEXT.

Maybe that drive can't do CD-TEXT and therefore fails with cdrdao?
In a review of the "eNAU608" on CDRLabs.com, they say that "According to Nero, the eNAU608 can also write CD-Text [...]", they haven't verified/tested that.

To be continued...

Using "generic-mmc-raw" didn't work
