Audio CD Image

Good morning

Is there such thing as an Audio CD image? I know that an ISO image is an image of a file system but an Audio CD is different.

What I want to be able to do is use StarBurn SDK to rip an exact image from a Red Book CD, store it as a single file, and burn the image to a CD to create an exact duplicate.

Is this possible?

I notice that the SDK's ripper example ends up ripping to WAV files.

Many thanks
- Shaun

You may grab to MDS format. Check GrabDisc sample. However it's propriatry format so we plan to drop it in favor of CUE/BIN soon.

That sounds great! Just a few questions:

1. Do you have a C# or VB.NET (or JavaScript/ActiveX) example for this?
2. Will MDS be dropped completely or will it continue to be supported for at least a few versions after MDS?
3. Will I be able to convert from MDS to BIN in the future?
4. How soon until BIN will be supported?

Thanks again

1) Unfortunately no...

2) Dropped was wrong word. Actually we'll use CUE/BIN with the MDS in parallel.

3) I don't think so...

4) Not earlier then in Feb-March 2008.

Awesome, thanks for the information. I look forward to BIN support and I will hold off on supporting audio disc images until this time.

Just please keep in mind, we cannot guarantee the ETA.

Hi Anton

I still won't hold you to anything. :wink:

I was just wondering how BIN/CUE support is coming along. It will certainly be a very welcome feature!

CUE/BIN support went South. Sorry for this but you'll not see it as part of the StarBurn SDK ever.

Thanks for the update. In subsequent investigations, almost no one is supporting BIN/CUE and many are saying that it is highly-problematic to make work on all drives. After a lot of digging, I can really see why it went south.

Not really. However there's simply no sense to add advanced RAW CD burning at the time vendors are dropping CD support.

Hi,
I have query related to same topic.
I want to create image of an Audio disc. So with current version I am able to use GrabDisc() method of Grabber Class so it makes an MDS image of an Audio disc.
But this image file I can't use further. If I have to burn this file to disc using ImageBurner then ImageBurner supports only ISO file format. So how to achieve that.
Is it possible by this way or we can do that by some another way. Please kindly reply.

StarBurn core can burn this image in raw Session-At-Once and various Disc-At-Once modes. We'll export this functionality in some of the next StarBurnX updates.

Hello,

Is this functionality included in StarBurnX ?

Thank you in advance.
