You can create a data CD
by setting up a separate file system and copying the whole image of that file system to CD. Creating
an audio CD consists of selecting the audio tracks you want to copy and copying them all at once
to the CD.
This section focuses on using cdrecord to create audio CDs. cdrecord can use audio files in
.au, .wav, and .cdr formats, automatically translating them when necessary. If you have audio
files in other formats, you can convert them to one of the supported formats by using the sox
command (described previously in this chapter).
One way to create an audio CD is to use cdda2wav to extract (copy) the music tracks to a directory
and then use cdrecord to write them from the directory to the CD. Here??™s an example:
If you prefer a graphical tool for copying and burning CDs and DVDs, refer to Appendix A,
which describes how to use the K3b CD/DVD burning facility for burning CD images.
That tool can also be used for copying audio CDs.
1. Create a directory to hold the audio files, and change to that directory. (Make sure the
directory can hold up to 660MB of data??”less if you are burning fewer songs.) For
example:
# mkdir /tmp/cd
# cd /tmp/cd
2. Insert the music CD into your CD-ROM drive. (If a CD player opens on the desktop,
close it.
