Burning CDs in Console
 

Hi there guys,

Can someone please let me know what programs are out there for burning CDs in console...

I need to do it remotely, via SSH as my box is located in another town and I need people to send the CDs I write to me.

Thanks

well most X front ends back on to cdrecord, and sometimes cdrdao. if ou're making data cd's then you'd also want to use mkisofs to actaully make the contents of the disc before burning it.

Thanks for your help man...
it is much appreciated

I tend to recommend a script I found earlier this year, part'ly because I received minor credit for adding OGG support. [pats self on back]

It can copy a CD, or burn ISOs, files, or audio.
