-<para>Allows treating audio <acronym>CD</acronym>s like a
-<quote>real</quote> filesystem, where tracks are represented as files
-and, when copied from the folder, are digitally extracted from the
-<acronym>CD</acronym>. This ensures a perfect copy of the audio
-data.</para>
-
-<para>To see how this slave works, insert an audio <acronym>CD</acronym>
-in your &CD-ROM; drive and type <userinput>audiocd:/</userinput> into
-&konqueror;. Within a few seconds you should see a list of tracks and
-some folders.</para>
-
-<para>Audio <acronym>CD</acronym>s don't really have folders, but
-the audiocd slave provides them as a convenience. If you look inside
-these folders you will see that they all contain the same number of
-tracks. If you are connected to the Internet, some folders will have
-the actual track titles shown as the filenames.</para>
-
-<para>The reason that these separate folders exist are so that you
-can choose in which format you would like to listen to (or copy) the
-tracks on the <acronym>CD</acronym>.</para>
-
-<para>If you drag a track from the <filename class="directory">Ogg
-Vorbis</filename> folder and drop it on another &konqueror; window
-open at your home folder, you should see a progress window showing
-you that the track is being extracted from the <acronym>CD</acronym> and
-saved to a file. Note that Ogg Vorbis is a compressed format, so the
-file in your home folder will appear a great deal smaller than it
-would have been if you had copied the raw data.</para>
-
-<para>The mechanism behind this is quite simple. When the audiocd slave
-is asked to retrieve a track from the <filename class="directory">Ogg
-Vorbis</filename> folder, it starts extracting the digital audio data
-from the <acronym>CD</acronym>. As it sends the data over to the file in
-your home folder, it simultaneously encodes it in Ogg Vorbis format
-(<acronym>CD</acronym> audio is in an uncompressed format to start
-with).</para>
-
-<para>You could also try dragging a file ending in <literal
-role="extension">.wav</literal> and dropping it on the &kde; Media
-Player, &noatun;. In this case, the procedure that happens behind the
-scenes is similar, except that instead of encoding the audio data in Ogg
-Vorbis format, it is put through a very simple conversion, from raw
-binary data (which the <literal role="extension">.cda</literal> files in
-the toplevel folder represent) to <quote>RIFF WAV</quote> format, a
-non-compressed format that most media players understand.</para>
-
-<para>&noatun; should quite happily play the <literal
-role="extension">.wav</literal> file, but if it has trouble, you may
-consider using the <option>paranoia_level</option> option, explained
-below.</para>

-Normally, the slave will try to find a <acronym>CD</acronym> drive with
-an audio <acronym>CD</acronym> inserted, but if it fails or you have

-</variablelist>
-
-<para>Note that there is a disadvantage to level 2. Extraction can be
-very slow, so real-time digital playback may not work properly. If you
-have a good quality <acronym>CD</acronym> drive (note that more
-expensive does not necessarily mean better quality) then you probably
-won't experience very slow extraction, but a poor drive may take days
-(!) to extract the audio from one <acronym>CD</acronym>.</para>

-<para>Specify which Internet <acronym>CD</acronym> Database entry to use. Audio

-<acronym>CD</acronym> Database is a clever system which uses a special
-unique identifier generated from the number and length of tracks on each
-<acronym>CD</acronym> to cross-reference a track listing. Track listings
-are contributed by the Internet community and made available to
-all. Occasionally there will be multiple entries. You can specify which one to use.</para>

-<question>
-<para>I get <errorname>The file or folder / does not
-exist</errorname>. How do I fix that? I have an audio
-<acronym>CD</acronym> in my drive!</para>
-</question>
-
-<answer>
-<para>Try running <userinput><command>cdparanoia</command>
-<option>-vsQ</option></userinput> as yourself (not <systemitem
-class="username">root</systemitem>). Do you see a track list? If not,
-make sure you have permission to access the <acronym>CD</acronym>
-device. If you're using <acronym>SCSI</acronym> emulation (possible if
-you have an <acronym>IDE</acronym> <acronym>CD</acronym> writer) then
-make sure you check that you have read and write permissions on the
-generic <acronym>SCSI</acronym> device, which is probably <filename
-class="devicefile">/dev/sg0</filename>, <filename
-class="devicefile">/dev/sg1</filename>, &etc;. If it still doesn't work,
-try typing <userinput>audiocd:/?device=/dev/sg0</userinput> (or similar)
-to tell tdeio_audiocd which device your &CD-ROM; is.</para>
