Want to know how it works? Here's some stuff for you programmer types:
Download the CD-ROM Tool source from Sourceforge
 I programmed this using C++ Builder 3. For you fellow Builder users out there, I have included all of the project files necessary to compile it. Those of you without Builder can still benefit by looking at the cdrom.cpp file to see the various functions I put together for manipulating the CD-ROM drive's speed and spindown time. I think I have done a good enough job of commenting it that you'll be able to understand what's going on.

The AKRip CD-DA Tool Homepage The AKRip CD-DA Audio Extraction program is implemented with an API encompassing many of the commands discussed in the ATAPI CD-ROM specification. This API works the same way as my program, using the Win32 ASPI layer to send commands to the CD-ROM drive. It is distributed in a DLL whose functions are well-documented on the AKRip website, and the full source is also available.
The ATAPI CD-ROM Specification Adobe PDF Format Prepare yourself. This is some really dry stuff. It's 200+ pages of opcodes, techinal drawings, tables, and text. Most of the time it's pretty straightforward.
The ASPI for Win32 Specification Another technical document, not as hard to read as the ATAPI specs, that details the use of the functions contained within the wnaspi32 DLL. You use these functions to interface with the CD-ROM drive and send the opcodes that you find in the ATAPI spec to it.
