Yes, it is the q-subchannels thing I'm referring to. I'm using version 1.1.5 that came with Slackware 8.0. From what I've seen so far, it works ok but I did have a CD that I copied which ended up with the track starting points being offset - like a little bit into the song. I thought CD extracting software could read a table of contents directly from the CD. Just shows you, I don't know a lot about audio cd"s :). I do like the job CD Paranoia does though you don't use that for DAO stuff.
