I guess I was less than clear. I want to make a CD that I can play
anywhere, not an archive of MP3 files. I'm very familiar with putting
data CDs together in Linux (as well as that other OS), and I've made
several audio CDs in Linux now, but I either have to explicitly spell
out each track on the command line (or drag/drop in Xcdroast), or I can
rename all the tracks to be sequentially numbered, then hit the
directory with:
for I in *.mp3; do; mpg123 --cdr -s "$I" | cdrecord -audio -pad -swab -nofix -; done;
cdrecord -fix
So, if I can use "for I" to grab the files from a directory, how do I
send mpg123 the filenames from the playlist file? I'm sure it's
something obvious, but it's not addressed anywhere I have found yet,
and the bash manpages are a bit obtuse at times.
