Hi,

This seems like it should be a basic question, but I'm stumped. Is there a way in Panther to make a backup copy of a music CD without using third-party software like Toast?

I'm almost certain I did this before, but for some reason I'm drawing a blank. I see that Disk Utility will backup a data disk, but it doesn't seem to have a "music CD" option.

Thanks!
 
So is replying to one's own post considered "bad form"? :D

I am still very interested in what anyone might suggest - however I did find something that let me copy it.

I had booted my Linux box, since I knew i could copy the CD with a program called xcdroast. Well it turns out there's a Mac package available now! It doesn't look Mac-like at all, more of the traditional utilitarian Linux GUI - but it did the job.

Since xcdroast has some options that probably aren't available with regular Mac tools, I thought it would be worth mentioning.
