Burning music (audio) cd's without gaps
I been trying for months (ok 4 months) to find out how to do the following. I am a DJ and I make music CDs without the the gaps on the track changes. I make my master copy with a audio cd write but I been trying to find a way to make copies of the audio cd in redhat. can you help me

Uhm.. I dunno exactly howto do this in Linux but what you need to do is called "burn all tracks at once" in windo$e apps.

I've never used a cd-r/rw in linux, so I can't be for sure. But, man xcdroast (or other proggy), it may show an example of a .cue file. I suspect you need to have the lead-in/lead-out at 00.00.00:00, or something simular.

I cant use xcdroast to do it. I have only on cd-rw drive so I need something that would make a images of the cd and then burn it back with the track without gaps

I found this alittle while ago(I forgot the link and I'm getting it now)
DAO
If you want to get rid of the pauses between the audio tracks, you have to use disk-at-once (DAO) recording versus the (individual) track-at-once (TAO) recording described above. Support for DAO is currently most advanced in cdrdao. Please see its homepage for details.
If you master the CD in DAO mode, then you use a monolithic image (sound file) and control track information with a configuration file.
CD_DA
TRACK AUDIO
FILE "live.wav" 0 5:0:0
INDEX 3:0:0
TRACK AUDIO
FILE "live.wav" 5:0:0 5:0:0
TRACK AUDIO
FILE "live.wav" 10:0:0 5:0:0
INDEX 2:0:0

OK, the link http://www.redhat.com/mirrors/LDP/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO.html
Chapters 2 and 3 are what you want to look at.

If I understand you correctly, you want to add tracks from an audio CD to your CDR 'playlist' or 'tracklist,' right? If so, xcdroast can do this.
After choosing your layout, choose the 'TAO method with no pre-gaps' option. This is what I do and it records CD audio fine.
