Burning Audio CD's
 

Hey all, I am relatively new to linux, been using it for about a month or 2 now. I am using mandrake 9.1 and like it alot :)

Anyways, my question is this, I have figured out how to burn data cds (i think lol) but cannot burn audio cds. I have tried using various burning programs, and most just burn the song as an mp3 to the disk. I have tried using k3b to burn audio cds (hoping it will convert mp3 to cd audio on the fly) but I get the following

No CDRdao driver found
Please select one manually in device settings
For most current drives this would be generic-mmc
I/O error

Can someone explain to me how to fix this, or point me in the direction of burning software that can convert mp3 to cd audio on the fly?

Also, is anyone here running limewire? I can't seem to get it to run, suggestions?

gtoaster is good

it works very well should do what you want, drag mp3's into track tab.

gtoaster, will only burn my mp3s to the cd as mp3s (data) not as cd audio

there are 3 tabs at lower right, 1 is data, 2 is tracks, 3 is burn settings, drag them to second tab,not first, it will make them into audio tacks, not mp3's, wish I could explain it better, just be sure you are on the middle, second tab if you do not know if you are you probably arent, just play around.

lol, k I got that figured out, thanx, now another question, how do I turn on over burning

not sure, never usd it, I know you can, you may need to go into preferences and modify command line entry using cdrecord --halp in terminal to find correct option.

ok, I will figure that out, just needed to know how, thanx, 2 more questions, anyone use limewire, I can't seem to get it to run, and I need an audio editor, preferably multitrack, I mainly need to make one mixed mp3 shorter, so i can burn it to 1 disc, any ideas?

well, I use limewire.. that answeres the only limewire question u asked so far

not sure about mp3 prog.

k, well I have the limewire.bin file, I can't figure out how to install it/run it or anything like that, can u point me in the correct direction?

chmod 777 limewire.bin
./limewire.bin

(all from command prompt inside the directory of the file)

if that fails you need to install the latest java

I got the installer to start running, but I get to unrecognized JVM specific options. Should I go get the new version of Java, and if so, which one?

1.4.2 java.sun.com j2re (j2se)

I have j2se1.4.2_02 installed, but not netbeans. Do I need that?

no.


hmm 3 characters seems like a waste of a post, so hi! thismakes it all that much more worth it

lol, k well it still won't install LimeWire so what else can I do?

and since ur adding to posts, how are u?
