Thanks. I'll have a look at it.

From what I have learned from HOWTO's etc., it appears that it is possible
to write tracks seperately, e.g. I can write one track with
$ cdrecord dev=0,0,0 -nofix -audio track1.cdr
then later write another
$ cdrecord dev=0,0,0 -nofix -audio track2.cdr
then when I'm done:
$ cdrecord dev=0,0,0 -fix

My first attempt at doing this was this script:

if [ "$#" = "1" ] ; then
  for i in `cat $1` ; do
    mpg123 -r 44100 --stereo -q -s $i | \
        cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 -audio -pad -swab -nofix -
  done
fi

After taking out the disk to make sure it is nearly full, I put it back
and ran:

$ cdrecord dev=0,0,0 -fix

Any ideas? Was my script messed up, or was this a freak occurance? I
didn't notice anything strange while writing the tracks, except something
about secsize being -1...
