That digitalCDsound API is a Mac OS 9 thing. It doesn't exist on Mac OS
X. There is no alternative to accessing the data on an audio CD except
via the file system without diving into IOKit and the kernel. The audio
CD mounts as a volume just like any optical disk and the files are just
files at that point with the TOC data stored in a file called
".TOC.plist".
As for knowing it's an audio CD, there is probably a way to figure out
what kind of volume it is, but I don't know the API you'd call to do it.

Hi Jeff,
I did see that via the cddafs driver you could do this, but was trying
to evaluate the best approach - going that route, or the
digitalCDsound route, if that was supported. I wasn't sure if it was
an either/or proposition, or if digitalCDsound simply doesn't apply
under OS/X. You seem to be saying it doesn't apply, which is fine.
Is it all just the regular file system at this point? Because I will
want to identify some of the characteristics of the CD, and so forth.
The older PBControl calls are obsolete, so I haven't figured out if I
just need to cobble together parts from all over the O/S or what... if
it's too transparent I'll have trouble differentiating between a
regular set of files and an audio CD. To a certain degree I need to
know I'm working with an audio CD.
Thanks

On Mac OS X, audio CDs are accessed through the file system as little

This is the closest forum I can find for this question (but if
someone knows of a more appropriate forum, let me know).
My question is about the DigitalCDSound implementation (.h file et
al) as referenced in TechNote 1187. Other than the tech note,
there's precious little reference to this. Has anyone ever posted
an example? Does it work in OS/X? I've looked through the
archives, the site in general, and the web in general, and can't
find anything beyond the technote.
