Do cue://, -format or -af format= work?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]<

 



1) Generate a  cuefile from an audio cd:

cdrdao read-toc    --datafile aaa.bin   aaa.toc
toc2cue    aaa.toc   aaa.cue

2) Generate a .bin file from it, with bytes swapped with the -r switch:

cdparanoia -v -r 1-   aaa.bin

3) The bin file can be burned with 

cdrdao write  --swap  aaa.toc

4) The "swapped" .bin file can be played with 

mplayer -demuxer rawaudio     aaa.bin

or extracted to wavs with

bchunk  -vw   aaa.bin aaa.cue    aaa.

and these play fine with mplayer.

5) Regenerate the .bin, with bytes in the natural, raw order:

cdparanoia -v -p  1-  aaa.bin

6) To play this aaa.bin, it is required to do:

dd conv=swab   aaa.bin  |  mplayer -demuxer rawaudio   -

or extracted to wavs with

bchunk  -vws   aaa.bin aaa.cue    aaa.

and these play fine with mplayer.

7) At one time, I thought

mplayer   cue://aaa.cue 

would play this file, but apparently not anymore.

8) Another thing that *does not play* this .bin is

mplayer -demuxer rawaudio  -format s16be    -af format=s16le   aaa.bin

which is what I expected.

This would allow simple verification of a clean read off
of the optical drive by cdparanoia, cdrdao etc.

Am I doing something wrong, leaving anything out, making some false
assumption?

Thanks for any attention given these issues.
