3. Burning Your CD
There are many programs to create CDs from WAV files. I use cdrecord for command-line burning and XCDROAST for gui. For cdrecord, you have to know what SCSI device your CD-writer is. If you're using ATAPI writer, with older kernel, use SCSI emulation (kernel module ide-scsi). As of kernel 2.6, you can use ATAPI directly, without SCSI emulation, by prepending ATAPI: to the device specification. Let's assume, that your ATAPI cdwriter is on the second IDE bus as a master. Thus, it will have [Open Source CentOS] .:: zekond.com ::. /dev/hdc device file. To instruct the kernel that you want to treat it as a SCSI device, add the following line to .:: www.arc.agric.za ::. /etc/lilo.conf:
append=" hdc=ide-scsi" |
Also, if your kernel doesn't automatically load ide-scsi module, add insmod ide-scsi into your rc.local (or equivalent) file. Once you have our CD-writer recognized as a SCSI device, run cdrecord --scanbus to find out what's the "dev" parameter to cdrecord. On my system, the output looks like the following:
scsibus1:
1,0,0 100) 'IOMEGA ' 'ZIP 250 ' '51.G' Removable Disk
1,1,0 101) 'HP ' 'CD-Writer+ 7100 ' '3.01' Removable CD-ROM |
So, the cdrecord command line will contain dev=1,1,0 to specify the device. Here is the complete command on my system: .:: www.redsea.gov.eg ::.
cdrecord dev=1,1,0 -eject speed=2 -pad -audio *.wav |
And, with kernel 2.6:
cdrecord dev=ATAPI:1,1,0 -eject speed=2 -pad -audio *.wav |
 | NOTE | |
|---|---|---|
The -pad argument is neccessary, because all audio tracks on the CD must be adjusted for the proper data length, which is not always the case with mp3 files. .:: zb3.org ::. [JWT Repositories] Another way, would be to convert WAV files with sox into CDR format before burning:
