I've searched around for this quite a bit and haven't found a simple solution (maybe there's not one)... I'm trying to convert some .mp3 files back to an audio format that will play on a cd player, that way I can burn them back to a CD and have them playable in an auto. I'm pretty sure that the Windows program "Nero" will do this, but I haven't found a linux solution yet. And yes I know that the sound quality will be less than perfect, but that's not really an issue in this case. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Regis Matejcik

If you install the mp3 packages from packman, and the k3b package from there, you get in k3b a GUI that's better than nero. It will let you do audio CDs from all sorts of music files

i was just looking for that, but i only see an "encode video" option. Where is the audio option? -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W. Watts

I guess he will have to select the option to create a New Audio CD under K3B. Then put the MP3 files using Add Files (Or Drag and Drop maybe) ... Then K3B should be able to convert them automatically. -- http://mckagan.googlepages.com

Thanks, I'll try that. When I tried it with the native version of k3b in 10.0 it just complained that it couldn't read the .mp3 file. Regis

Hi! Hav just solved similar problems on 2 of my suse 10.0 installation, and you do need the k3b rpm from Packman. Ther is som problems with suid on som files and Packman includes the k3b-setup file, so you can configure this (and other things..) After that: Create a Audio CD Project and drag your mp3-file to the project. As simple as that! Anders

Course it would be simpler with the newer CD Players found on the market and in some cars these days. They play MP3s from CDs (Just record them as data cds). -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

I purchased at Costco for $24.99 a device that plugs into the cigarette lighter and it has a socket for a USB stick. It has volume up/down, track forward and reverse, pause. It allows you to select up to 15 or so FM frequencies and transmits the music to your FM radio in the car. Works quite nicely. I have a few complaints but for the money... I am quite pleased.

Not so sure about the robustness issue. I've never had a Car CD player fail, but I've had at least three thumb drives (memory key chain devices) roll over and die. 25 cents buys a new blank CDR. 30 bucks for a new thumb drive. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

Maybe car cd readers are more robust, but those on PCs do die. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

You can use Audacity. Import the mp3 file, and export it to wav, which will then be burnable. Or you can use Soundkonverter (on the kde-apps.org site - http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=29024). -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - KDE yn Gymraeg www.eurfa.org.uk - Geiriadur rhydd i'r Gymraeg www.rhedadur.org.uk - Rhedeg berfau Cymraeg www.cymrux.org.uk - Linux Cymraeg ar un CD

Also, a bit of advice here. If your Audio CD Player is pretty old, then I would suggest you burn your disks at a slow speed like 8x or something to avoid problems. Otherwise, problems like Track skipping, etc. are pertinent...as the CD Player might not be able to read the CD burnt on a faster Burner. -- http://mckagan.googlepages.com
A slight variation on the question: Does anyone know how to convert/play .shn files to .mp3 ones under Linux? Cheers Matthew

Try this one http://bklyn.org/~cae/unshn.txt this looks like it will give you a wav file, which you can then encode into mp3 using something like lame

I missed much of this thread. However, I'd recommend the simple route. Fire up K3b (Geeko > Multimedia > CD/DVD Burning), Click on "New Audio CD Project" and then drag your .mp3 or .ogg files from the top pane to the lower one. Burn. I just did this a few days ago, because my new 2006 truck is stupid and doesn't recognize .mp3 or .ogg formats in its fancy 6-disc stereo system. -- Kai Ponte www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request
