We can use cdrdao to create an audio CD from a colleciton of mp3 files. On Mint (4.10.27) this is the way to do it since cdrecord fails. The only complication is the need for a table of contents file, but it is easy to produce. There are issues to do with gaps but this can safely be ignored. Either wav or cdr files can be written by cdrdao to a CD-R disk.
Put the following into /usr/local/bin/mkcdrtoc:
#!/bin/sh
for i in *.mp3; do
if [ ! -e $(basename $i .mp3).cdr ]; then
mpg123 --cdr - $i > $(basename $i .mp3).cdr;
fi
done
printf "CD_DA\n" > disk.toc
for i in *.cdr; do
printf "TRACK AUDIO\nFILE \"$i\" 0\n" >> disk.toc
done
printf "\n========== disk.toc ==================\n"
cat disk.toc
printf "========================================\n"
printf "\n>>>>>>>> Now run \"cdrdao write disk.toc\" <<<<<<<<<<\n"
Then the following two steps will convert all mp3 files in the current directory to cdr, then burn them to a CD-R or CD-RW. If you want to change the order of the tracks, simply edit disk.toc.
$ mkcdrtoc $ cdrdao write disk.toc
We can alternatively use cdrecord:
$ for i in *.mp3; do mpg123 --cdr - $i > $(basename $i .mp3).cdr; done $ cdrecord -v dev=0,1,0 -audio -pad *.cdr
