Description: CDDA Driver is a BeOS device driver which offers a simple to use, consistent high level interface to SCSI-2 CDROM drivers. It's main feature is the ability to copy digital audio from compact disc over the SCSI bus. It actually allows the end user to use the "Save" feature in the CDPlayer application. (A modified version of CDPlayer is available from the URL given above.) This is an update to the CDDA Driver Demo 1. This version has more audio playback features and a few bug fixes. SONY CDU-76S drives now work perfectly. Other CD-ROM drives might also work now.
