[ Reading raw audio data from CD ]

SL>I believe that this is not possible. My CD-ROM plays redbook through the

SL>cable to the soundcard.

Stephen,

you should check out the latest CD player utility coming with OS/2 Warp.
You can select a digital transfer mode, which will read the audio data from
SCSI drives and play it through the sound card. Even some IDE drives
support reading raw digital audio, but I don't know if the OS/2 Warp CD
player supports these. I just tried this again with my Toshiba 3501 and it
works fine. Normally, the drive blinks about once a second when playing
audio by itself, but when I select "Digital Transfer" it begins to blink
very rapidly and the SCSI-LED is getting very busy, too.

There are other (DOS) utilities for reading audio data from compact disc,
which will save the sound as raw or Wave files.

Bye,
Thomas
