CD burning

[pink skitz]

hi,
:)
id like to put some of my music onto some CD-R'z and im a fairly new user when it comes to linux mandrake but like i know that i have 2 programs installed (Gcombust and g toaster) but mmmm ive checked those programs out and well i'm not sure of the process i should go through to make a disk as i dont seem to be comrehending and taking in how those aplications work.any one have any idea of what i should do to begin with....*im lost*
lol
:o) any help would be appreciated.

since I don't use either of those programs, I'll just provide some links I've found. Hope this helps

gcombust (http://www.gbar.dtu.dk/misc/software/gcombust.html)

gnome toaster (http://gnometoaster.rulez.org/documentation/gnometoaster_users_guide.html)

FWIW, I use cdrecord and XMMS (to create the wav files)

Good luck..

First off, is your CD-RW setup all corectly with SCSI emulation? To check run

cdrecord -scanbus

as root and see if it finds anything. If it doesn't, or you don't know what I'm talking about come back and let us know. If it is working fine, here's some reference on how to do it with the command line cdrecord (which is what all the GUI frontends use anyway). First you have to convert all mp3s to wavs (mpg321 can do this). Then do

cdrecord -v dev=x,x,x speed=y -dao -pad -audio song1.wav song2.wav song3.wav etc...

The dev=0,0,0 is what your CD-RW shows up as in cdrecord -scanbus, most likely it is dev=0,0,0, and the speed=y is the speed you want to burn at.

Cheers
