IEC specs, Red Book |
2009-09-06

Dear lazyweb,
Together with the cdrdao developer, I'm trying to get my hands on the Red Book spec for Audio CD's - also known as IEC 60908. The spec can be found on the IEC website. This spec is still not freely available, even though it's been what, 20 years ?
It seems a spec like this is offered from several different places, at different prices, and I don't know where the cheapest version usually can be found. Or maybe IEC, or Philips, offers the spec for open source developers at a more reasonable price ?
Who out there has had to get IEC specs for their open source projects, and how did you do it ?

Seen that, have used it a little, but it’s not very clear and it’s definately missing things.

I also could not find it online :-(
To me it seems, that the cheapest official way is to buy it from a local “standardizing” body in a particular country:
In Belgium it seems to cost 22EUR

which is less than the price stated in wikipedia …(~ 200$)

You might find ECMA 130 (http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-130.htm) interesting.
