For that, I $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 -- David E.

It supposedly does - you can burn the mp3s and convert them at the same time. But I have found this doesn't always work well in practice. I've managed to coaster several CDs when trying this approach in the past, and I've used several front ends when doing so. I've found that it does not work well to do this especially if your mp3 sources are not 44.1K/stereo files. A bunch of my OTR is not, and the various front ends do not pay attention to this, and it results in coasters featuring chipmunk soounds. Also, from my experience, they do not support VBR encoding well at all. Having your front end segfault in the middle of a burn is not encouraging, to say the least. So far, I've found xmms-diskwriter / cdrecord the best way to do this. Sir Robin -- David E.

Can anyone recommend a program to make normal audio CDs from a bunch of
mp3s? Googling found me a program which retails at $799. For that, I
wouldn't want a program to make CDs, I'd want a program that could model
Gollum.
1. Put MP3z in dir.
2. Open a term in dir.
3. for i in *.mp3; do mv $i `echo $i | tr ' ' '_'`;done;
4. for i in *.mp3; do lame --decode $i `basename $i .mp3`.wav; done;
5. normalize -m *
6. Fire up GCombust, drag WAV files to Audio Files tab, order how you want,
burn.
Tip:
in .bashrc add these lines:
# mp3 functions
function mp3dec() { for i in *.mp3; do lame --decode $i `basename $i .mp3`.wav;
done; }
function mp3ren() { for i in *.mp3; do mv $i `echo $i | tr ' '
'_'`;done; }
Mind the line wrap, of course.
Then lines 3 and 4 are just mp3ren, then mp3dec.
Thanks, this was the kind of thing I was looking for.
Sir Robin
