Ahhh, I see. Great advice. I might even give this a try myself as sometimes the CD copying within GUI apps is, um, dodgy.  Thanks for the mini-tutorial. =)
I am learning SOOO much about devices, interrupts, SCSI emulation, USB etc., since having so many peripheral problems...hehe.

Cheers

Jason

Sorry Jason, that's a "mi-computer-only" kind of thing. 
Read my previous posts. It was an alias i made.
If you want it, here it is.

First, I ran cdrecord --scanbus to see where my burner is.

The output of cdrecord --scanbus gives me:

scsibus0:
        0,0,0     0) *
        0,1,0     1) *
        0,2,0     2) *
        0,3,0     3) 'SAMSUNG ' 'CD-R/RW SW-212B ' 'BS05' Removable CD-ROM
        0,4,0     4) *
        0,5,0     5) *
        0,6,0     6) *
        0,7,0     7) *


So i know that my burner is in 0,3,0


Then, I added this line at the end of /root/.bashrc

alias copy-audio-cd = "su; rm -rf /tmp/wavs; mkdir /tmp/wavs; cd /tmp/wavs; 
cdparanoia -B; cdrecord -v -audio -eject speed=12 -dev=0,3,0 ./*.wav"

Of course, if you want this, you'll have to change the " -dev=0,3,0 " to fit
your burner location, and the " speed=12 " to any other burning speed
you might like.


Oh, and one last thing. If you are trying to copy a very old and 
scratched CD, "cdparanoia -B" might get stuck trying to get a perfect
read from under a scratch. If you see that the ripping process is
taking too long, you can add a Y or even a Z to it. Like this:

cdparanoia -BY
(this will make for a faster and less perfect ripping from scratched
or old CD's)

cdparanoia -BZ
(this will disable ALL error checking, making for the fastest method,
but possibly resulting in clicky/jittered/choppy rips. Not recommended.)


Once this line is in your /root/.bashrc, just insert an audio CD in the reader
device, a blank CD in your burner, open up a console, type copy-audio-cd,
enter the root password when it asks for it, sit back and watch. :o)
