Copy cd just copies the files and the cd-format.. Clone cd makes an exact duplicate &quot;bit for bit&quot;.<br />
This applies generally but i've i cannot garantee that is what it means in k3b<br />

Yes, that would make sense to me, but it doesn't seem to be the case. I just did a search and it seems that &quot;Clone&quot; and &quot;Copy&quot; options are really the same thing, except they just use different programs to do the writing (cdrecord and cdrdao).<br />
<br />
Although, I would like to know what the practical, real-world difference is between the 2 copying methods (what I originally thought clone/copy referred to) - the file copy and the bit-by-bit copy. What exactly is the difference? I don't mean the technical difference - I know that - I mean what are the advantages/disadvantages of one over the other and when would you use each method?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
k3b has an option to do a &quot;CD copy&quot; and another option to do a &quot;CD clone&quot;. What's the difference? My guess is that one of those options refers to copying a disc 1 file at a time, and the other is for doing a simple bit-for-bit copy. Is this accurate?

k3b - CD copy/CD clone

Multimedia applications are those programs that integrate more than one media at a time; browsers are the most obvious. However, the term has come to include the use of programs that enable the use of any component that isn’t simple text and static graphics, such as audio, video, animation, virtual reality, conferencing and monitoring.
