Lew, Okay, thank you for getting back to me so fast. I will give it a try. Thanks also for such a detailed answer. It gives a beginner a chance. Neal. On Sunday 12 May 2002 10:36 am, Lewis E. Wolfgang wrote:
Hi Neil,
I've had good luck with mpg123. It's been on previous SuSE distros and is probably on 8.0. If it's not, look on freshmeat.
Just us it like this:
mpg123 -s something.mpg >something.cdr
The file format is not .wav, but in the format that may be burned directly by cdrecord if you do this:
cdrecord -v speed=S dev=X,Y,Z -swab -pad -audio *.cdr
(assumes X86 architecture. Don't use -swab on SPARC)
Substitute the speed for your burner/cdrs and your own X,Y,Z config obtained by runnign cdrecord -scanbus. This will burn all the .cdr files in the directory that you're sitting in.

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.
