Identifying CD Burining or CD ripping

Hi All,

Can we programmatically identify whether CD ripping or burning is happening?

Any information is helpful.

Thanks,
Kedar.

The short answer is no(*). :frowning:

The long answer depends on how tightly you limit your problem scope.
If you only care about application A or B, then you can see if they have
notification. If you don’t mind false positives, have a bus filter that
“realizes” the device is in use (has commands outstanding).

Perhaps you can be more specific about why you’d want to know this?

.

(*) You could write a device filter that keeps track of all the commands
sent to the drive, and fail all unknown commands, and keep internal
state that matches the drive’s state, and then also poll just in case
the drive’s been reset, etc… But that’s way too much work for a
realistic project.
