Hi, I'm looking into adding support for reading the C2 error information, and probably some other things like CD-TEXT, CD+MIDI, CD+G, ISRC, whatever info I can read from the disc. It looks like I need to extend the API for this. For instance, for the C2 error information you get 1 bit per read byte to indicate if there was an error reading that byte or not. I see several ways to do this: - Create new versions of exising functions with extra parameters (and different name) - Create functions that return the extra info from the last call. - Setting reading C2/subchannel info default to off, and return the data exactly like the drive returns it, so just after the main data. It looks like this atleast requires a new function to set the options. - Read the data by default, if supported by the drive, and instead of adding it after the main data of each sector, change it so that the main data of all sectors are still returned first, and then the other data. The R-W subchannels can contain interleaved/error corrected info like CD-TEXT, and not all drives support returning that data deinterleaved and error corrected, but most do support reading the RAW data. So we might need to implement that ourself. So I'm wondering what you think the best option is. I'm currently in favour of the second option. Kurt
