List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Wrong again greg, failing to set the cdrom up as ide-scsi will prevent utilities from using the read raw p-w subchannel command. This foils index detection and can prevent some drives from reading cd-text informantion and isrc information. Some drives do not support the read-raw p-w subchannel command and will only read the pq subchannel but why take the risk? Also, cdparanoia will work with some drives in ide-scsi emulation that will fail when controlled by the ide/atapi driver. Your milage may vary but I have found that the ide-scsi layer is more affective at digital audio extraction than the ide/atapi driver. Regards, Kerry.
