  • How can i backup the "table of content" of CDs ?

    Let me see if i can explain myself here....
    I want to make an exact CD copy, with pure dummy files.
    I want to navigate the folders, see the file list, etc,
    but i want this files to be dummy files ( 0 Kbytes ).
    I'm trying to build a DATABASE of the contents of all my CDs,
    but all i need is the virtual files,
    so i can just read the names,
    and be able to check what i have on those CDs.
    WOW.... my english suc#s....
    Thanks in advance.

    Only for non-Multisession discs:

    Start creating an image with Alcohol 120% and immediately stop image creation, but don't delete files. Open the mdf file with ISODir 0.5 and let it trim the file, save as *.ISO. You now have an mini image with TOC but no data.
    If trimming with ISODir doesn't work, open your "interupted image" with ISOBuster and search for the lowest LBA of a file (not folder) to see where data begins. Open mdf in a Hex Editor and cut file beginning with offset of first data (LBA * 2048/2352/2448 depending on image type).

    In rare cases parts of the TOC are not only located before data.
