When I'd try to load up a dir, Gcombust (and eroaster too IIRC)
would skip one or two files sayin they didn't exist. 'Course they
did and I could burn a CD of all the files usin the CL. Any of the
various GUI's froze up at one time or another, usually while
selecting files, or making the image to burn. I use to like Koncd,
but haven't had any luck gettin it to run since Mdk7.2. Now I can
start to burn a CD in less time than most GUI's take to load just by
typing 'bdcd' <cd_image>, 'bacd' (in the dir where the wav's are), or
'biso' <filename>.iso I just got tired of foolin with GUI front
ends. I suspect most all of 'em just haven't kept up with bleeding
edge distros like Mandrake.
alias bdcd="cdrecord -v -eject speed=8 dev=0,0 -data"
(need to make cd_image first, eg, 'mkisofs -r -o cd_image <dir>')
alias biso="cdrecord -v -eject speed=8 dev=0,0"
alias bacd="cdrecord -v -eject speed=8 dev=0,0 -pad -audio *.wav"
