...*Detailed description*
A large collection of, predominantly audio, CDs needs preserving. The CD's initially need stabilising onto magnetic storage medium to prevent preservation issues relating to disc-rot. The content of these disc images then needs to be extracted and catalogued. The following discusses a number of tools to tackle the first part - disc stabilisation.
*{+}Imaging Tools{+}*
The following two tools provided the ability to create a diskc image (.bin/.iso with .cue track listings file) of an audio CD with mechanisms to extract tracks to WAV files.
*{_}cdrdao (Linux)_*
...-* From what I can gather from the above link, the free version can be used anywhere, even for commercial purposes.
*_.cue file - metadata{_}*
ISOBuster generates a .iso/.cue file pair as a audio CD disc image. Here is the contents of the .cue file generated for a 4-track audio CD (note there is no descriptive metadata about the tracks or the disc itself):
{code}
FILE "DiscMalta.iso" BINARY
REM ORIGINAL MEDIA-TYPE: CD
REM SESSION 01 ; Not supported by other applications (*)
TRACK 01 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00:00:00
REM MSF: 00:00:00 = LBA: 0
TRACK 02 AUDIO
INDEX 01 17:19:60
REM MSF: 17:19:60 = LBA: 77985
TRACK 03 AUDIO
INDEX 01 31:40:65
REM MSF: 31:40:65 = LBA: 142565
TRACK 04 AUDIO
INDEX 01 44:30:55
REM MSF: 44:30:55 = LBA: 200305
REM (*) SESSION directives are unfortunately not properly supported
REM 'out there'. IsoBuster however supports them !
