I sure hope that someone can help me with this issue. I have been trying to burn an audio CD, but I continually have no success. I have read all of the material suggested on this board and other boards, but the closest I come is a burned track that expells nothing but static noise <???> I am using the latest cdrecord, mkisofs, cdda2wav, version 2.0-1,and I am using CD Bake Oven 1.8.9-1 for suse 8.0 linux distribution. My CD writer is a LG 8081B.
I have not had any problem burning data cd's, but this issue of audio cd's is driving me mad... Please, help is really needed.


Thank-you

Hey,

try this guide ( http://seismo.ethz.ch/linux/xcdroast.html ). It looks quite good.

Thanks for the input... It would seem that the tutorial is not complete:

BURNING AN AUDIO-CD
- Create CD ('CD erstellen')
* ..... to be continued.....

Thanks anyways... good tutorial on xcdroast aside from being incomplete. Still asking for information...

ok what are you doing? copying from disc to disc? at the simplest level try

dd if=/dev/cdrom | cdrecord -

to copy a disc exactly. you'll prpabbly need some mroe options for cdrecord though

I am trying to make an audio cd with mp3's. Now.. CD Bake Oven will convert the mp3 to wav and so on, but.. for some weird reason all I get for tracks is static. Horrible ... horrible static.... the tracks are there with the proper size and so on, but just static....

I really do not understand....

Audio CDs are different from (iso9660) data CDs in how they lay down the music tracks so making an iso image won't work. You'll either need to dump the audio tracks to an audio file like a .wav or do DAE (reccomended) to extract them digitally as cdda files. I have a REALLY old print of some HOWTO, but I know the latest "CD writing HOWTO" from http://tldp.org has a whole section on audio CDs.

Hre are the error messages that I receive when attempting to burn the cd manually with cdrecord:

Perhpas this will help someone define the issue that I am having.... perhaps....


Thanks for all of your help. It is GREATLY appreciated...

Sorry about the screw-up... I sure hope someone can make some sense out of this.... Thanks..

I'd first say to make sure you are in the directory with the wav's in it, if not, simply provide the path to the wav's like so:
cdrecord dev=x,x,x speed=x -v -eject -pad -audio /path/to/wavs/*.wav
Then I'd think you might wanna check to make sure the medium is good, I usually try a different disc to determine if this is the case.

Thank-you for your help in this matter...

The CD's do work well. I have tried both CD-R and CD-RW types and have come up with the same results. I have had no problems doing this with microsoft windows 98/95, using Easy CD Creator, but I am wanting to remove myself from that environment.

Is this going to be possible?

After leaving this alone for a while, I have finally figured out the audio CD issue with the LG8081B CD-RW:

It would seem that X-CD-Roast, using cddao(DAO), clears this issue up. Setting the 'Swap Audio Byte Order' in the 'Advanced Options' using the 'Write Tracks' method corrects the problem. However, I would still like to know what cddao command is being implemented.

Thanks for all of the help....

you could try to see what xcdroast does, when it's burning open a konsole and type
which if you are lucky will give you the command line that it uses to execute cdrecord, complete with parameters. Probably all that is wrong is the type of commands for your drive, xcdroast probably has info for your particular drive on which command protocol to use.

Thanks Darin, the ps -ef | grep cdrecord command came very handy, and it gave me the information that I needed....

Here is the string that was produced while I was burning an audio CD on CD-RW:

cdrecord dev=0,0,0 gracetime=2 fs=4096k -v -useinfo speed=8 -dao -eject -pad -swab -audio /DIRECTORY/FILENAME.WAV -audio /DIRECTORY/FILENAME.WAV -audio /... etc

I hope that this post will help others in a similar situation. It is always nice to learn new ways of using commands; it opens up a lot of doors....
