I installed datapacker from the repo but do not understand how to use
it. It does not appear to be able to be directed to a specific
directory where the mp3 files are without checking other directories.
I've read http://jgoerzen.github.com/datapacker/datapacker.html but
still fail to understand how to use it.
Yes, I check the dvds when i've burnt them that they are readable by
me and the computer itself.
Thanks
