This works fine. I think then, that probably what has happened
is that the stand-alone audio burner wrote a PMA that says
the disk is blank.

I tried doing a c2scan in interative mode, manually specifying
sectors 0 through 5000 (instead of letting it choose). I got
an I/O error saying the logical block number was out of range.

So basically, I assume this means the PMA says the CD is blank.
The CD burner's firmware reads the PMA and trusts it, so it
won't let me read the sectors, even though the sectors are there.
(Does that sound like the reasonable explanation?)

Is there some way to write my own valid PMA onto the disk? This
is an 80-minute CD, but I only need the first probably 50 or 60
minutes of audio, so maybe I could dump a PMA from another
CD with 60 minutes total of audio on it, and then write that
PMA to the disk. Or is that something that my burner's firmware
will not allow me to do?

Thanks for all your help so far, by the way!
