Actually I've posted much the same info about CL burning of CD's
over the past year or so. A search on the archive for biso, bdcd
and bacd will probly turn'em up. Most of my stuff is just my
preferences (opinions ;) based on the CD-Writing HOWTO and 'man
cdrecord, mkisofs, cdparanoia, normalize, mp3_check' with others
suggestions and ideas added in.
To tell the truth, I've gotten the impression most people still
prefer to cling to usin a GUI frontend to do all this stuff for
them. It's just my view that many don't understand (or care to) the
ramifications and pitfalls of lettin GUI make choices for them.
Specially when it comes to 'on the fly' burning processes and
speeds, any OS. I use to be one'a 'em.
Their preferences and choice are surely their right, but I
still think they'd be better off exploring the docs and becomin
familiar with cdrecord, mkisofs, cdparanoia and such. If nothin
else it would make some of the options in GUI's better understood.
Probly many less coasters too ;)
Anyhow, the HOWTO already exists on your system under
Documentation | Howto's and 'man .......' If everybody just adopted
my preferences, and didn't develop and post their own, I'd (we'd)
miss out on maybe findin even better ways to do stuff. That's
certainly a good, if not the best, part of how I learn to do stuff.
