How to Identify a CD Writer

Use the cdrw -l command to identify the CD writers on the system.


$ cdrw -l

 cdrom0               | YAMAHA   CRW8424S         1.0d | CD Reader/Writer

If you want to use a specific CD writer, use the -d option. For example:


$ cdrw -a filename.wav -d cdrom2

Use the cdrw -M command to to identify whether the media is blank or whether there is an existing table of contents.


$ cdrw -M
