Hi,
Just noticed that RSJ CD Writing software (with DAO support!!) is now available from the RSJ website at www.rsj.de Note that this update will NOT be a free update - it will be payware.


It can be downloaded from: http://www2.rsj.de/pub/cdwos2/beta/cdwos2us.exe


>From the readme file:
New to Version 3.49BETA
-----------------------


This beta version contains the long awaited DAO mode for audio CDs. The following applications have been changed to support DAO mode:


* CD View *
CD View's track list received a new column that allows you to modify the pause time that is added before each track (except for the first one, which always has a dummy 2 second pause). The default is 2 seconds. To
modify it, hold down the Alt key while clicking the according entry with the left mouse button (OS/2 standard behaviour) or use one of the commands in the context menu ('Pause Times' submenu). When you're done, click the DAO copy button in CD View's toolbar. There is no need to finalize the session after a DAO copy is complete.


To be able to perform a DAO copy operation, the following conditions must be met:


* The target CD must be empty
* The CD Recorder must support DAO mode
* There must be tracks queued for copying (of course :)
* All queued tracks are audio tracks


In any other case, the DAO copy button is grayed out and the pause time column read only (not editable).


NOTE: Pause times are ignored if a TAO mode copy is performed. The parameters available in the 'Audio Options' dialog are only for TAO copies!


* Track copy command line utility (trackcpy.exe) *
The command line based copy utility supports DAO via its new 'daocopy' command. For a description on how to use it, start the utility and type

help daocopy


at its prompt.

* CopyWizard *
CopyWizard has a new check box "DAO mode". If checked, the CD is being copied in DAO mode with a zero pause between tracks (see below).

Some notes about pauses between tracks:
CD View is the only application that allows you to adjust the pause time that is added before each track. Both trackcpy.exe and CopyWizard use a zero pause time, which means the source CD is copied as is.


The pause time that you set in CD View is actually added to the pause time of the source track. In other words, using a zero pause time perserves the source track's pause time.


TIP:
If you want to copy tracks that do have a pause to a new CD without pause, copy these tracks to your hard disk in TAO mode; then copy them to your recorder in DAO mode (with zero pause times, of course).

** Additional changes:


The CD Writer Control application now contains a new page showing LOCKCDR's boot messages and information about recorders that were auto detected during system boot up. This information might be very helpful in
case of problems.

Seeya, Paul Smedley.
