hi len... thanks!
yes, that all makes sense and is stuff i'm already aware of. what i'm
wondering about is making more human-readable reports of the CD details,
*besides* the file-pair required for burning. most CD manufacturers ask
for this, and a lot of mastering software on other platforms have
facilities to generate such things. to be sure, it's not a big deal to
put it together by hand, from the CUE or TOC, but it just seems like one
more thing which could (i.e. should?) be automated. :)
as an aside, i've always thought it's a bit silly that the
manufacturers want something "pretty" to look at, since all the details
are encoded on the burned CD anyways, but i guess sometimes they
double-check these things...
cheers!

most CD manufacturers require a printout of the CD layout (track
start/end, pre-gaps, ISRC, CD-text, etc.) along with the burned CD,
before manufacturing. a lot of commercial mastering software seems to
have a facility, linked to the CD layout functions, which formats such
data in a printable form.
on linux, i've always just transferred all that stuff by hand into a
document, but i'm wondering if anyone has an easy way of automating
this at all. it doesn't look like there's a direct way to do that in
Mixbus, which is my DAW at the moment...
Just a bit of background first to make sure both you and I are
thinking the same way. Normally to make a DAO CD (best thing for
audio) You need two files, The binary and the TOC or the CUE. The TOC
for sure has all that info in it (or should) so you should have it
already somewhere. However, If you can't find it, putting the CD in
your computer CD/DVD drive and doing:
cdrdao show-toc filename.toc
should get it for you.
This will only work assuming all the info you wish (Including ISRC
and text) were entered somewhere in Mixbus in the first place.
Otherwise only track start and length will be there.
Am I making sense?
