I'm a linux newbie, but still beleive I can input some info for you. Since I always used cue file when burning CDDA cds to my friends (in windows). The reason why I prefered cue files instead of the just doing a simple CDDA burning is: 1. Every new track strats with an index. When you are using cue files, you can put in as many indexes as you please, e.g. spittning the wav to many tracks. 2. If the first wasfile has "index 0", it gets ignored by the cdplayer and creates kind of a hidden track b4 track 1. To listen to it, you have to start playing track one and from there rewinding. Now to the newbie stuff, I didn't se any indexing entry in this bash script below, so I assume the cdrecord assumes indexes b4 each new wav and therefore also writes one, but this is just a quess. Neither have I a clue how to write cue-files sinces I had a little proggie in win95 that did it 4 me. > > > And how I can build a toc file from a collection of .wav > > files (where I don't know their length in seconds). > > > > I use the following bash script to do that... > (if you don't give the length explicitly, cdrdao is wise > enough to take the length of the .wav file ;-) > > --------------------[snip!]--------------------------------- > #!/bin/bash > # > # create .toc file for cdrdao > > echo CD_DA > > for file in *.wav > do > echo > echo TRACK AUDIO > echo FILE \"$file\" 0 > done > --------------------[snip!]--------------------------------- > > HTH, Stefan > > > Thanks, > > -- > > Bill Moseley > > mailto:moseley@hank.org > -- > Did you know that if you play a Windows 2000 cd backwards, you > will hear the voice of Satan? > That's nothing!
