How do I create an audio cd from mp3?

Hi all

What application would I use to create an audio cd from a directory of mp3s? I want it to play in my car or home stereo cd.

Thanks!

Use LAME and cdrecord. Put all the tracks in one folder, CD into the folder and then

Code:

count=0
for TRACK in *
do
lame --decode "$TRACK" $((++count)).wav
rm -f "$TRACK"
done
cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc -audio -pad $(ls)

yep that's a good way. I was looking for something a little more friendly so that my family could use it as well. I ran across GnomeBaker which works very well.

Thanks for your reply.

I really like a program called K3b, it works much like Nero and all the standard burning apps...
It's available in the Fedora repositories, if I'm not mistaken.

Check out a screenshot of the audio CD interface:

I believe that you must have the KDE libraries installed, so use a package manager like Yum or Smart to take care of the dependencies, if any

Hope that helps you out.

Edit: you might want to install also "k3b-extras" from the Fedora repositories, and "k3b-extras-nonfree" from the Livna repository. They might contain some additional decoders and stuff...
