I have been using debian/ubuntu linux quite successfully for the past year. However, my linux box does not have a CD burner. I want to generate .iso files on my linux box and use my Windoze burner to generate a bunch of audio cds.
I have read the MP3 burning HOWTO and know how to create .cdr/.wav files from my .mp3 files. Now I am stuck at generating an ISO image from my .cdr/.wav files. All my searches on the web have returned using cdrecord with -audio flag to master an audio CD. But I am interested in generating only an .ISO file... I tried using mkisofs -o../cd.iso *cdr from the directory with all the cdr files. The result is an .iso image which is not in AUDIO CD format. I guess, mkisofs generated a Data CD from the files provided..Please let me know how I could master an ISO image from a bunch of .cdr files...
Well an audio cd format is alltogether different from iso9660 filesystem CD. You can use iso9660 filesystem for storing files though and can play files from them like an ordinary Windows Installation CD or a Game CD.
And audio cd can't be made from iso9660 file.
actually you don't make an iso image for audio CDs
you simply convert your wave files to the proper pcm encoding (cdda) using a cool program called sox
(you convert the mp3 to waves via xmms or mpg123 or other such program)
once you have your songs (tracks) in the proper format you can use
cdrecord or cddao to record the songs to a disk
