Burning music CDs
in [UK Linux]
|
From: Martin Gregorie on 24 Jan 2010 13:48 I'm in the process of transcribing some vinyl to CD. These are disks that I've had for years and that have never been reissued on CD. I'm using Audacity and an external sound card to make WAV files without any problems, but I'm having a spot of bother creating playable music CD images from the files and burning them to CD: - In the past I've used XCDRoast, but version 0.98alpha15, the one released with Fedora 10, is borked. Quite apart from having a decidedly non-intuitive way of getting it to accept the list of files to be burnt, it goes through the motions of burning a music CD but in fact it merely burns a data CD. I can play the files OK with RhythmBox but the disk is entirely silent when put into my CD player. I know the version of XCDRoast distributed with Fedora 8 was OK, but this one seems to be junk. - Gnome's CD/DVD creator has no obvious way of telling it to write a music disk - none that I've managed to find, anyway. There has to be a better way of burning music CDs, so What software are you using to burn them? -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |

I use k3b for all my CD/DVD burning. Early versions were a bit flaky, but I've not had a single problem for the last 2 - 3 years. File -> New Project -> New Audio CD Project should sort you out :) -- Will J G
