Anybody understand this that can explain it in simple ish terms..

Havent managed to get my head around it!

TOC = Table of Contents = Like an index of whats stored on the CD

MSF= Minute Second Frame= a way of measuring time on a compact disc (CD), expressed in the format mm:ss:ff, where mm is minutes, ss is seconds and ff is frames.

 

Yes I know that

I want to generate a fake CD TOC from files in a folder

 

Why didn't you ask that in the first place?

 

because I dont need someone to do all the work

 

Okay?

 

If you're using an illegal TOC to copy protect a CD, I wouldn't bother.

Although, I'm equally confused as to what exactly your question is ?

 

I want to generate the DISCID from the CDTOC for freedb

David

 

Can you not use the DiscID Calculator from the freedb website ?

 

not when I need to create a fake CD TOC as im not generating it from a physical cd, rather a list / folder of the files.

So you want a TOC without creating a physical disc ? Good luck

You could create a bin/cue of some random files, then edit the cue file manually with your required track lengths and gaps etc and mount the image as a virtual drive with Deamon Tools or similar.

No idea how you would do this on the fly from a folder though. What is it you want to achieve eventually?

Perhaps you could find something to generate a cue file, then use cue2toc to create a toc file ?
