I burn all my CD's using cdparanoia and cdrecord at the command line. I usually start with > cdparanoia -Q to query the CD and see if I need a 80 or 74 minute CD.
Then just use >cdparanoia -B to start ripping the whole CD When that's finished just burn the wavs to cd (the following options will vary depending on your system) >cdrecord -v -dao -eject -dev=0,0,0 -speed=4 -audio *.wav -dao is important if you don't want a 2 second gap between each track, note some Cd-burners don't support this option although I'll be surprise if the new ones don't. You should then delete the wavs to free up a bit of space. ASIDE: When I had the time I was planning to edit this perl script to give you the option of burning a copy of the CD as well as creating MP3's, you have invested the time ripping the CD why not do all you can with the wav files! http://www.geocities.com/ukcave/ripit.html Daniel -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Rev Simon Rumble Sent: Thursday, 19 June 2003 6:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SLUG] The burning of audio CDs.

I would recommend k3b from KDE. It puts a very easy-to-use interface on all the CD burning tools. -- Rev Simon Rumble <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> www.rumble.net Send email with subject "send key pub" for public key.
