16 this cannot work!

18 cdda2wav uses a binary interval search algorithm that usually works correctly.
19
20 It seems that the drive used for reading has reead and/or seek problems.
21 remove the list of -1's and make sure that
22
23 A song tape starts with 2m red tape folowed by magnetic tape followed by 2
24 seconds of white tape.
25
26 If you mount a disk, you cut off the red tape and glue the magnetic tape
27 behind the 2s white tape of the previous track.
28
29 A song starts with Index1, Index0 is somewhere to the end of the tack and is
30 a logical part of the current track although it carries the next rack number.
31 A RedBook and Reichsrundfunggesellschaft ;-) compliant track uses Index0 that
32 is equal to tracksize -150 (2 seconds).
33
34 Opera disks contain further indices as index into the libretto. In this case,
35 you have index numbers > 1.
36
37 Cdda2wav is the only DAE program that is compliant to the standard and therefore
38 it is the only known program where you may rearrange the order of tracks
39 without the need to edit the audio channel data.
40
41 In case you do not have an opera disk from Deutsche Grammophon, it is most
42 unlikely that you have a index list.
43
44 Cdda2wav should never write negative numbers to the index list. As you did not
45 send the cdda2wav output, I cannot comment the reason.
