From Andreas Mueller to the comp.os.linux.announce newsgroup on 5 Aug 1998

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

This is the first release of cdrdao - a tool for writing audio CD-Rs in disc-at-once mode. Currently only the Philips CDD2600 writer is supported but it may work with other Philips writers, too. Contributions for other CD writers are welcome.

Features:

• variable pre-gap length (down to zero)
• non zero audio data in pre-gaps
• control over sub-channel information like ISRC code, pre-emphasis
• tracks may be composed of several audio files
• support for audio CD copy
