$799? Outrageous.

Robin, here's what I do. I use xmms with the dikwriter plugin and
cdrecord. 

open up xmms, select the tracks to burn. This is pretty simple if they
are all in one convenient place. Otherwise you can use gcombust and do
drag  drop from a file management tool like konqueror.

Make a subdirectory to hold the wavs - usually I put them under /tmp.
Next open up the Visualization window, select Audio I/O plugins, select
Diskwriter. This opens up a subwindow, enter in the directory you
created. After you've added all the files, press play, and in a few
minutes (here's where diskwriter shines, it's fast) you'll have a number
of wav's in that directory.

Next open up a command line and

$ cdrecord -dev=ATA:1,0,0 -v -eject -speed 12 -audio pad  list of
files

Most of the time, after entering that I just type the first few letters
of each track, and hit tab. I have to do that repeatedly for each track,
but what the hell, it works :). Otherwise, you can use gcombust, or any
other cd writing tool. But from the tenor of your email it would seem
you're stuck on the mp3-wav conversion.

 Sir Robin

Check out BashBurn (http://bashburn.sf.net). It's a simple little app for the 
console that can do that and much more.

Here's what I do:

How about this, got it from this list quite awhile back, I can't remember 
who posted it.  I run mp3_check first, then mp32wav, then normalize -m then 
I run Tom Brinkmans bacd (thanks Tom) alias file.  Works great and all on 
the CL.


#!/bin/bash
# mp32wav

mp3file=$*
mkdir wav


for file in $@  ; do
#echo $file
wavfile=`echo $file | sed s/\\.mp3/.wav/`
printf %-50s %-50s\n $file -- $wavfile

# to encode wav--mp3
#lame -h $file $mp3file

# to encode mp3--wav
mpg123 -b 1 -s $file | sox -t raw -r 44100 -s -w -c2 - 
wav/$wavfile
done

HTH

 From where to get DiskWriter plugin? What is the file name.

xmms-diskwriter-1.2.4-13.1mdk  an older one is probly on your CD's. 
IIRC, Xmms rpms were updates with MandrakeUpdate (Software Manager).

 I was running xawtv and from terminal I issued command
 dd /dev/audio xx1.au

 Now to convert to .wav file I issued sox  xx1.au xx1.wav.

 Now I get the wav file. But if I use normalize xx1.wav I get error as
 [lvgandhi@localhost lvgandhi]$ normalize -m *.wav
 Computing levels...
 normalize: this is a non-PCM WAV file

   I don't know anything about xawtv, nor have I used sox to convert 
.au to wav.  You wouldn't use normalize -m on just one file tho. The -m 
(mix) switch is for equalizing the volume levels of multiple wav files.

 So, real geeks go command line!

 Try this in a terminal:

 mpg123 -o outputfile.wav inputfile.mp3

OOPS! Should be:

% mpg123 -w outputfile.wav ...etc
