I'll throw in a second for gtoaster. I've been looking for something to do
MP3 -> Audio CD myself, and gtoaster fits the bill nicely. I just got done
making my first CD with it - listening to it as I type this - and I'll say
it was well worth the download.
When you install gtoaster, it'll install a whole bunch of other utils that
it uses. Things like mpg123, sox, cddawav, and a whole slew of others.
Basically it seems to be just a GUI front-end to all those others. But
gtoaster certainly makes it easy to put it all together.
The only bobble I had with getting it running was I wound up having to set
the prog SUID root. As this is a single user system, I'm not worried. But
others might be. I'm sure there's a better way than just doing SUID root,
but I was too impatient. Later, I *will* be checking out how to get it
running without being SUID. But for now I'm happy - it *works*.
Oh yeah. gtoaster is a Gnomeified package. As such, it depends on a number
of Gnome libraries. The docs made it sound like it can be built from source
so that it does *not* depend on Gnome, but I didn't check that too closely
as I do use Gnome.
