Other Help Topics :: Making an ISO image from a music CD

Now I have to go the other direction.

I have some music CDs. I do not want to rip them (at this time). I want to make exact copies of them.

Seems I would want to read the CD into an ISO image for later burning.

My limited research indicates that I want readcd, but I can't find that program on my system.

Have you tried:

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=cd_image

cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=1,0,0 -data cd_image

no......

What format is dd outputing?

Will this work with an audio CD?

Are ou familiar with the uif format copying CDs? I was also given a uif file, but have not been able to burn it to CD with cdrecord. It is a copy of an audio CD.

Yes that will made a standard .iso image. But you may have problems with copy protection... ?

I think uif format is proprietary... might have a better chance using a windows program.

Have you tried:

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=cd_image

For me it is either /dev/cdrom1 or /dev/scd0 and in either case I get:

dd: /dev/cdrom1: Input/output error

I have an audio CD in the drive and I try:

mount /dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1

and get

mount: relocation error: mount: undefined symbol: blkid_known_fstype
