Rainbow Books:

The CDDA trademark
The CDDA trademark

Red Book is the standard for audio CDs (Compact Disc Digital Audio system, or CDDA). It is named after one of a set of colour-bound books that contain the technical specifications for all CD and CD-ROM formats.


The physical parameters and properties of the CD are specified as well as the form of digital audio encoding (16_bit PCM), the optical "stylus" parameters, deviations and error rate, modulation system and error correction, and subcode channels and graphics.


The first edition of the Red Book was released in June 1980 by Philips and Sony; it was adopted by the Digital Audio Disc Committee and ratified as IEC 908.


Recently, some major recording publishers have begun to sell discs that violate the Red Book standard for the purposes of copy prevention. Philips has warned them that including the Compact Disc Digital Audio logo on such non-conforming discs may constitute trademark infringement; either in anticipation or in response, the long-familiar logo is no longer to be seen on many recent CDs.

XMCD: Drive Configuration Guide (2469 words)
On those drives that do support CDDA, there was not a standard SCSI command set for it until the advent of the ANSI MMC (SCSI Multi-media Commands) standard in the late 1990s.
The CDDA modes appear to work, but white noise is produced rather than music.
It may be better to use the "Track Warp" slider in the xmcd keypad sub-window instead, especially in the CDDA playback mode.
