Hi All,
At the moment I am learning how to use cdrecord and have been able to make data cds. I am now trying to make a music cd from mp3s, and am assuming that I will have to convert them to .wav files and then burn them to a disk.
I am wondering if anyone can recommend a good conversion tool, preferably one that comes with the personal edition of 8.0. I tried using sox but got the error message that it could not recognize .mp3 files.
I use mpg123 which should be on the CDs (at least it is on the Pro CDs). You want to convert them to cdr format, not wav for burning to CD. This is the script I use, just put the mp3 files in the ~/burn/data directory. #!/bin/bash # # This is a CD-R script for burning mp3 files directly to CD. # The mpg123 program converts mp3s to cdr format, and cdrecord burns # the tracks on the CD. # for I in /home/foo/burn/data/*.mp3 do mpg123 --cdr - "$I" | cdrecord dev=0,0,0 -audio -pad -v -speed=2 -nofix - done cdrecord dev=0,0,0 -fix #### Best Regards, Keith -- LPIC-2, MCSE, N+ Will we all fight for the right to be free?
