How To Fix toc2cddb: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu toc2cddb is provided by cdrdao package.

cdrdao is:

cdrdao records audio or data CD-Rs in disk-at-once (DAO) mode based on a textual description of the CD contents.

Recording in disk-at-once mode writes the complete disc, i.e. lead-in, one or more tracks and lead-out, in a single step. The commonly used track-at-once (TAO) mode writes each track independently which requires link blocks between two tracks. You probably want to use this if you’re copying a CD with multiple tracks, like most audio CDs.

cdrdao can also handle the bin/cue format commonly used for VCDs or disks with subchannel data.

If you just want to burn a normal data CD, you probably want wodim instead.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install cdrdao

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install cdrdao.

sudo apt -y install cdrdao

Or if you have aptitude installed you can use the following command.

sudo aptitude install cdrdao
