Does anyone have a copy of the Redbook CD Standard IEC 60908? I thought I'd play around and read the digital data from music disks, then play around with upscaling algorithms at home. We might come up with some interesting results.

However, I'm not in the mood to pay $350 for a licensed copy of the bloody standard from IEC, hence my shout-out here.

Please let me know if you have ideas of how I may proceed with getting digital audio data into a data file.

Perhaps look into the structure of a .wav file. The data's all there if it's an accurate rip.

I'm not sure what you hope to accomplish by reading "direct" from the CD rather than ripping them with commonly available software?

And the data CD version is a different color, which I can't remember, but it was also named for its color....

David and Brombo: excellent, thank you! I don't know why I couldn't find these when I searched.

Walt: I understand that the Red Book is part of a collection called the Rainbow Books, so a different color for the data CDs makes sense.

Roscoe: I'm not think to rip audio CDs, but to manipulate the data from them. Once the file is ripped, I still need to understand what the data frames contain. I suppose that also means that I need to apply error correction and possible compensations as dictated by the data flags. I'll see what the standard reveals and see how I feel about continuing this project.
