Only the larger CDROM2 tool supports audio commands and you have to omit the < >, so the proper command would be: "CDROM2 PLAY01 F:" However, this only tells the drive to use the built-in audio playing function which modern drives might lack. The sound gets output to the headphone jack of your CD drive (if it has the connector) and the output for 3- or 4-pin cables to your soundcard or mainboard (if it has that). If you use the latter output, you also have to have a cable connected and the volume control on your soundcard properly set. Last but not least, not all drivers of CD/DVD/BluRay drives might support audio commands. The alternative way is to read out the raw audio data and then either store that as WAV, convert it to OGG or MP3, or play it directly. I think this is now the more common way of accessing audio on CD via a PC :-) Regards, Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
