Well, it''s not just cdrecord , but it will do for example, so
within it's capabilities are to my certain knowledge audio, data, ISO
image etc etc, now each one of these headings has a number of
variation, so that shall we take for an instance audio writing,
if I want to write audio tracks to disc and this is a multiple
continuous audio track(without gaps) then I use,
cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=0,1,0 -dao -audio -eject
/homedirectory/tmp/*.wav
this writes the individual files on my home directory in /tmp.
but if i want to do the same with 2 second gaps gaps I think it is
slightly different , anyway you get the idea, and so if one can set
up aliases so that they do the full range of whatever commands you
eventually wind up for the cdrecord programme, I think it needs to be
organised in some way. The aim might be to type cdrecord into
terminal, then,
cdrecord - audio, read with gaps, opt 1
audio, read without gaps, opt 2
audio write with gaps, opt 3
audio write without gaps opt 4
select <type option number> command runs.
I suppose it's too much really, just floating an idea.
don't take it to seriously.
