Use cdrecord.
There's a cdrecord that runs inside of cygwin on windows...

It's a free set of libraries that lets you run useful software (Unix-y
code) on Windows.
Google for "cygwin".

It is a package for Windows that provides a UNIX-like operating
environment. Its aim is to make Windows a bit easier to stomach.

I find the reverse true. All the UNIX like stuff I have seen
are very large compared to win/95. Looking at CLASSIC computers
and history I am starting to see how many companies failed to
make a good graphics computer system.

I found it to be a nice cheap way to turn my XP system into an X-Terminal
for my VMS and Sun systems. :^) After all, besides games, what other use
is there for a Windows system? :^)

My experience with Cygwin a year or two ago under Win98 was similarly
awful. However, now I am running a newer version under XP, and it has
been great, at least so far.
