Public bug reported:
The 16-bit WAV files that Audacity exports are unsuitable for simply
creating a redbook CD. After exporting in format "WAV (Microsoft)
signed 16-bit PCM", the files are fed to "cdrecord", which then states
that the encoding is unusable.
If the files are non-compliant with the standard as written by
Microsoft, then this is a *bug*. If the files are compliant but
Audacity simply lacks the encoding capability to meet Redbook standards,
then please treat this as a *feature request*. FWIW, these are the
cdrecord-stated requirements for the Redbook standard:
"The file with data for this tracks should contain stereo, 16-bit
digital audio with 44100 samples/s. The byte order should be the
following: MSB left, LSB left, MSB right, LSB right, MSB left and so on.
The track should be a multiple of 2352 bytes."
*possible workaround*
Exporting as a custom ffmpeg pipe would perhaps work if someone knows
the exact settings. The codecs and other options are quite cryptic, so
I could not test this personally. If someone knows how to translate the
above-mentioned red book specs into settings in Audacity, please mention
it here. Thanks!
