Hi, I managed to create an audio CD with x-cd-roast once. The second time, and further on, the roast created a CD alright, fixated it it in the end, but.... It seems to be something missing on the CD. Devices are not considering it as an audio CD. In the roast I can read the contents of the CD, though. The audio tracks seems to be there alright. But the CD is unplayable. KOnCD doesn't work at all. There are errors and there are missing files or path, i.e. cdrdao. This one comes from YaST for SuSE 8.0 - the original. X-cd-roast comes from this too. Ver 98 something. Now I've created excellent wav-files with the wonderful program Audacity, I can listen to them by different programs in SuSE like Konquerer, Xmms, and so on, but I cannot burn the to an audio CD! Of course I start xcdroast as root, there no other way what I know of for now. What can poosibly be wrong? Regards, Thomas

Have you tried burning an audio CD from the terminal, using cdrecord?

Please, if there are errors, tell us what the error text says. Otherwise we will not be able to help you.

Difficult to say without any actual technical facts to look at. Spill your guts. Best regards :o) Johnny :o)

I asume you are using SuSE Linux 8.1 Start with updating cdrecord. Use YOU (Yast Online Update). The update is called "Tool for writing CDR's", and it fixes some bugs relating to fixating CDs. Then start a terminal and become root: user@linux> su - Password: root@linux> Then: root@linux> cd /dir/with/wav/files Then: root@linux> cdrecord -vv speed=2 dev=0,0,0 -dao *.wav You can set the speed to something else, suitable for your CD recorder and the CDs you use. Make sure there is no more wav files in the directory than what fits on the CD - cdrecord does _not_ check for size. What does cdrecord tell you then? And if the CD is burned, will it play?

Hi Johnny, I've solved it all. Cdrecord works very well with the commandline proposals from this list, and I managed to get xcdroast to work as well. There were some options in "Write Tracks" and I had chosen the wrong one "Disk-at-once". It should be "Track-at-once". I don't know what happens with DAO? Can it be writing a data CD? The explanation of TAO is that it put in 2 sec. between the tracks, and that gave me a hinch that this had to have with music to do. Correct. Now I'd like to convert the wav-files to mp3, but audacity claims that a file called libmp3lame.so is missing, and I guess it is, I can't find it either. Now I have to find it somewher. I Thank You very much for Your kind help. And I thank all the others on this list who have been helping me in this audio matters. Warmest Regards, Thomas

You can burn a audio CD with the DAO mode but this is mainly used if you want to record an audio CD with no 2 sec pause between tracks.
Now I'd like to convert the wav-files to mp3, but audacity claims that a file called libmp3lame.so is missing, and I guess it is, I can't find it either. Now I have to find it somewher.
This library is not included because of legal reasons. You can get LAME from freshmeat.net When you get to the homepage, just enter LAME in the search window and it will take you to it. Hope that this helps. There is another alternative to .mp3 and that is Ogg-Vorbis. The necessary tools come with SuSE. So you have a choice :) -- Marshall "Nothing is impossible, We just do not have all the anwsers to make the impossible, possible."

Okay i should have looked further; this version is provided by apt component packman => the pkg can be obtained from www.links2linux.de or http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/8.1-i386/ -> RPMS.packman -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
Silly question but are you telling Xcdroast to create a audio cd and not a data one? As someone else suggested, you can use the command line tools to burn the CD. I have burned disks using the command line and K3B without issues. -- Marshall "Nothing is impossible, We just do not have all the anwsers to make the impossible, possible."

Hi Marshall, I had it in mind, but how, where?

No luck with cdrecord. See another mail from me to the list. Sent in this moment. Kb3 doesn't work either. Trying to burn there is no device and only 1x speed in spite of the correct data in the setup. :-( Regards, Thomas
Hi all, Soon I'm giving it up. It works perfectly in windows. Why will it be so hard in linux? It's not appealing to people to use linux. I wish I could use linux, but about burning audio CD:s I have to get the job done. My intention is to save my old vinyls and use CD:s instead in my stereo device. So is there no sens way in linux I have to use something else (win). Regards, Thomas

It is very easy and works perfectly in Linux too. Use the line-in of your sound card to make wavs. Then use this command to create the audio cd from the wavs you made: cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 speed=4 -pad -audio /home/bryan/Wavs/*wav In the example above, substitute the actual path where you saved your wavs. Also, depending on how your system is set up, you might need to be root to do this. *************************************************** Powered by SuSE Linux 8.0 Professional KDE 3.0.0 KMail 1.4 This is a Microsoft-free computer Bryan S.

Hi Bryan, At last! I can beg my frustration to go to ..... It worked!! Now I've got a playable audio disk! Thanks a lot!!! And I Thank You all who have contributed in this matter. Of course it would be fun to get all these graphical programs to work too like xcdroast and KOnCD. But now I can burn my audio CDs wich was the goal and not be forced to use win*.
