Clone audio CD

Duplicate a CD or DVD

1. Insert the DVD/CD;
2. Open Disk Utility, and select the DVD/CD from the left side list (select the DVD/CD icon on top);
3. from the DU File menu select New | Disk Image from Disk 1;
4. Choose to format the disk image as DVD/CD Master, name the disk image and click Save;
5. When the .cdr file is finished select it with mouse and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info and check the box to lock the file;
6. Choose the .cdr file from the left side list, click Burn, and insert a new, blank DVD or CD.

The above procedure works with CDs and DVDs if all you want is a duplicate.

You can also create audio CDs or DVDs using iTunes, but iTunes is not a tool for cloning a disc.

iTunes will burn audio cd's. Open iTunes, top menu go to Help > Search > type in "audio cd" >
Show all Help Topics > Creating your own audio CD's.
(import music first - then burn)

Here is a commercial app:
http://www.nch.com.au/burn/index.html

This one needs to be compiled:
http://cdrtools.darwinports.com/
Then download the Aqua CD Burn App (GUI for cdrtools - only!)
or if you feel really geeky:
http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/cdrecord.html
Then download the Aqua CD Burn App (GUI for cdrtools - only!)
The last one, (cdrtools) is the best one, but it requires geek command line skills
to install (and of course the developer package must be installed - if not using Darwin Ports).
you will have to download and compile smake from jorg schilling:
ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/smake/alpha/
with smake and make you can compile cdrtools:
http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/cdrecord.html
If successful, you can burn joliet CD's including bootable ones, but
wait, there is more! ..., audo cd's, data cd's, dvd's even blu-ray discs.
