MP3 Files

[Rick Rosinski]

Try this, 

If you have only one CD ROM, it is easy as 
"cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=0,6,0 *.mp3";

cdrecord converts the mp3's to wav's, then converts to audio data that is 
written to disk.
(that is how I remember it - check the man pages).

The "speed=4" is because my writer is 4x.
The "dev=0,6,0" is because my writer is on a SCSI bus, as ID 6.

I don't know whether or not you can use the wildcard (I don't because I am 
paranoid about getting the tracks written randomly on the CD.

Check out the CD-Writing HOWTO.  It is to the point and is easy to read.
