Synopsis
cdrdaocommand[options]toc-file
Write all content specified in description file
toc-file to a CD-R disk drive in one step.
This is called disk-at-once (DAO) mode , as opposed to the more commonly used
track-at-once (TAO) mode . DAO mode allows you to change the length of gaps
between tracks and define data to be written in these gaps (like
hidden bonus tracks or track intros). The
toc-file can be created by hand or generated
from an existing CD using cdrdao’s read-toc command. A cue file, as
generated by other audio programs, can be used instead of a TOC
file. The file format for TOC files is discussed at length in the
cdrdao manpage.
