How to create a cd-image of audio?

lawrence_lee_lee · 11-07-2008, 12:26 AM

What I have now, are a number of encoded audio, like mp3 or flac. I want to make a CD image containing these music, so that I can give this image to others and he/she can burn this image into a CD, for listening.

I don't mean a data CD image containing these audio files, but a audio CD image containing tracks of those music.

Can this be done? Both command line and GUI methods are welcomed.

What you want is the man page for genisofs

IIRC: something like

genisofs -R -o cdimage.raw file1.wav file2.wav ...

There is always the option of burning a CD and grabing an image of it with dd.

However, as far as I know, there is no filesystem on an audio CD and they are just tracks of data. How can I use "dd" to create the image?

I know that,

Quote:

dd if=/dev/hdb of=image.raw bs=4096

can create an image of a CD, if the CD contain a filesystem. However, this does not work for an audio CD. What can I do?
