Thanks Paul. Great guidance! Worked pretty much first time around, but
still getting used to Cygwin.

OK, a CD that fails in the car and locked up under the Gentoo readcd
-c2scan passes -c2scan under Cygwin, although I still see some
complaints about part of the SCSI command set. NOTE: This is the same
machine that runs Gentoo dual-booted into XP and running Cygwin now,
so same exact hardware, different OD as Joerg requested:

None the less it passes without errors. I'm thinking this implies the
problem is the car's ability to read the CD and not what's on the CD
itself. That could be the player, or it could be the media. Since I'm
getting low on CD-R's I'll pick up a new spindle tomorrow. The
original CD-R was TDK which the car's player didn't have trouble with.
My copies were done on Maxell and most recently on some Office Depot
CD-Rs. I'll get a spindle of TDK tomorrow.

Always up for other interpretations as to what might be going on, and
also VERY interested in learning a good set of commands with cdrtools
to copy and write CD's without having to use k3b.

Cheers,
Mark
