Here is my situation:

I have a number of mp3s that I want to use to create an audio cd. I want to use XMMS with a crossfade plugin so I can crossfade these audio files, and then create .wav files using XMMS. Then, I want to burn said audio files onto a CD that is playable in any cd player-- without the 2 second gap in between the songs.

I've tried using XCDRoast using DAO mode but I still got the gaps. I was looking at CDRDAO which looks great for copying discs but was unsure how I could use it to make a disc from existing .wav files (do I have to make a TOC file?)

Is there an easy way to do what I want?

Thanks,
dave

If you use K3B (uses many different backends), you can select the pregap sizes. I've not tried this, so I cannot say for certain that it works, but I would guess that if it didn't, it would have made its way into the program

Yes, with cdrdao you have to make a toc file.

But it's VERY easy. Once you make the first one, you can even just edit it for subsequent cds.

There is an excellent mp3-cdburning howto at www.tldp.org

It'll give you all the lowdown on CDRDAO, cdparanoia, etc.

It's all from the command line, but don't let that scare you
