Has anyone checked out this program? It's over at: http://www.jetblackz.freeservers.com...ingcdcopy.html

I am wondering where any of you submit bug reports or future version feature requests to? If the author of this software reads this, see below. For those of you who haven't use it, you should give it a try, it works great at what it does.



If you read this jetblackz, where should I submit bugs/suggestions to if I find one/have one for your program? I'd just email you and ask, but you don't have that listed as an option here.

Cool

Thank you, MC, the first visitor to my site and you won a million dollars!

Sorry, but you can email me at the addy on my site's front page. I don't want to give it out too much cuz of spam.

Email me all you want. Wait for a few days for replies.

I'll upgrade it to more intelligent one that asks you speeds of your drive and dev parameter. If I can figure out how to write data to a file, I'll save the selections in a file.

Sweet! Ok, so I'll post the feature request here, and email to you later so you and others can know what I am asking

To burn audio CD's using cdrecord you need to first convert the mp3's/ogg's into wavs. So, I tried this:
mpg123 -w *.wav *.mp3 and thought it would work. Well, instead what it did was turn all of the mp3's into one long wav file. Not what I had in mind. SO, if you could include in the beginning of that file a way to convert mp3's/ogg's into wav's (of course then the user would have to have the relevant programs installed - oggenc and mpg123/ogg123) that would rule!

I figure it's probably not too hard for any who knows how to write any sort of code, something probably like:
mpg123 -w $.wav $.mp3
$=filename
But as you can see from my sorry example of something, I have no idea how. Anyway, I am lazy, and don't wanna type out each filename, so this is what I am hoping to avoid...

If you don't wanna include this for whatever reason, it's cool, really. I will still use your program cause it rocks, it's fast, and very easy to use! I will just have to find another way to do the converting a little easier via command line.

Cool

Hey MasterC:

A simple perl script should do that for you; it should be fairly easy, even if you don't know perl.

Do a search for all *.pl scripts on your box. Open a few up in Kate an look them over. Perl is fairly simple to understand.

Google for some info on `@` (arrays) `$` (variables) `my` =local scope; `our`=global scope. `pop` and `puch` (I think) are used to shift array elements.

A quick perl tutorial should tell you all you need. Check Webmonkey.

Put those together with a for loop, and you'll be about set. You can probably do the whole thing cut and paste.

I really appreciate your reply, and all your examples of things to google for. And I will. I feel like a newbie saying this, but all those things you showed me look hard to learn. I will give it a try and see what I can come up with.

webmonkey, that sounds funny

Anyway, yeah, thanks for the ideas, I'll look into them right now.

Cool

Well, I guess tonight isn't such a good night for me to start, I am already lost and only on like the 3rd page over at webmonkey. I will give it another shot later, after I get a bit of sleep and clear my mind.

Again thanks for the keywords, and I will do my best to make sure they weren't posted in vane (vain, vein, veign?).

Cool

That's OK. It's a bit harder that I let on, but not much. Anyhow, since I felt this would be a quick and neat little project, I just dove in.

I will post here again when finish the script.

MasterC:

Please post the complete commands you use to convert:
mp3 -> wav
ogg -> wav

Thanks.

--Mark

Well, like I said it doesn't work right, but the command I use to convert 1 file is:
mpg123 -w filename.wav filename.mp3

and btw, that is not a typo, the output is entered before the input mp3 filename.

As for ogg:

ogg123 -f wav filename.ogg

I haven't tried the ogg one yet, as most of my oggs I haven't really given much time on converting to.

Anyway, thanks for you troubles

As for the perl attempt, that is getting even more hard. I am getting more and more lost, and now don't even know what is going on, but am hoping maybe something might click if I keep going.

Cool

MC, before you're gonna jump up and down, please test the mp3 part for me. I don't have mp3 files. Burn them to a CDR. Let me know.

I'm beginning to realize the truth "What truth? ... There's no spoon." The power of Linux.

Everyone else enjoy and let me know if it works or not for you.

Thanks much.

Please update to 1.06a. There's a bug in 1.04a & 1.05a. Thanks.

Sweet, I am there!

1.06a

Cool
