-"tosha" reads one or more CD-DA (digital audio) tracks or absolute
-sectors and writes them into a single or multiple files, or to the
-standard output.
+tosha reads CD-DA (digital audio) and CD-XA (digital video)
+tracks and writes them to the harddisk. Several audio formats
+are supported: raw PCM (little-endian and big-endian byte
+order), WAV / RIFF, AIFF and Sun AU.
-The digital audio data is read through the SCSI bus; thus tosha
-does NOT work with IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM drives nor with proprietary
-interfaces.
+You can also pipe the data directly into an audio or video
+player. A simple audio player is included ("pcmplay"). To
+playback VideoCD data, you need a third-party product, for
+example MpegTV (see http://www.mpegtv.com/).
