"Monkey's Audio is a file format for audio data compression. Being a lossless
compression format, Monkey's Audio does not remove information from the audio
stream, as lossy compression formats such as MP3, AAC, and Vorbis do."

If you have xorg+KDE(or GNOME,xfce,etc..), all you have to do is install the 2 
ports above and you will be able to do what you want. Believe me !

k3d is an excellent app. It will burn ANYTHING. Dvds (any kind), Cds (any 
kind), data, audio,vcd,svcd,dvd movies, etc...

Of course we do. Sorry if I didn't refer to you answer to Tsu completely. It 
was because i was focused on solving his problem first, but yes, you were 
right from the start. That is exactly what the  monkey audio plugin does.

An what will this plugin do? Decompress ape files on the fly, right?

If I didn't write previous post clearly: Audio CD standard (Redd Book)
requires certain data format on disc, which ape file is not. Thus, you
can't write ape files on Audio CD.

You can, however, use software which converts ape files into correct
format in an invisible way to you. Do we agree? :)

Cheers,

Karol

Yes, he can !

install
/usr/ports/sysutils/k3b

then install
/usr/ports/audio/k3bmonkeyaudioplugin

After that he will be able to drop .ape files directly into an audio project.

No, you can't. Audio CD is a specific format without compression, etc.
Either someone was using software which did ape decompression on the fly
or he was using a special device to read them.
