A question about reading non-data CDs
-
Is it possible to read binary data from a music or karaoke CD using the standard I/O functions in Win32? My purpose is to examine the data structure and learn more about them, possibly to try writing my own programs for managing content. Is this likely to require, instead, something at the device driver level? Will Build Nuclear Missile For Food - No Target Too Small

Can't really answer your questions, but here's a pretty good FAQ that gives an overview, as well as links to more in-depth information: http://www.cdrfaq.org/faq02.html#S2-43[^] How do you move in a world of fog, That's always changing things? Makes me wish that i could be a dog, When i see the price that you pay.

Excellent link, Josh - Thanks!:-D It looks like, if I'm going to pursue this, I'll need to install the DDK and learn to use it. Oh well, nothing easy is worth having...:sigh: Will Build Nuclear Missile For Food - No Target Too Small

What OS do you want compatiblity with? You can use SPTI in NT and use ASPI in 9x SPTI Have a look for opening CDRom drives using CreateFile, you can read sectors other than data using DeviceIoControl and IOCTL_CDROM_RAW_READ ASPI If you using ASPI then you can use many of the read commands defined in the SCSI 3 specification. READ_CD being your best bet. Regards, Ceri
