kilimanjaro Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 How do you make a regular audio cd from mp3 and ogg files in Mandrake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Just select audio cd project in k3b and drag the mp3 files in it, this should work. For ogg I'm not sure if you need something extra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramfree17 Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 but that would take an awful long time (believe me as i have done it). you can do the conversion steps manually for greater control and just use k3b to burn the "prepared files". ciao!

mystified Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 Eroaster can automatically convert mp3s and oggs to .wavs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramfree17 Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 Eroaster can automatically convert mp3s and oggs to .wavs. yup but wav files are not the ones being burned to create an audio cd. i think the format is named cdda. its just that wav files are the closest thing to it and would require less memory-intensive conversion. ciao!

scoopy Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 I just recently burned a CD from mp3 files just the way aRTee described. Not sure if I had to install lame for this or not, but it did not take long at all on an AMD 1200 system ( the key here may be the 7200 rpm harddrive and CD being on a separate IDE cables ) IF it complains about the encoder... look for this --> liblame0-3.93.1-4plf I also noticed, my k3b seems to have come with an ogg encoder/decoder plug-in, but I haven't tried this.

The burner is on a separate IDE but the files being converted are already in the harddrive (reiserfs). if im not mistaken 13 songs (about 54 minutes) took me around 55 minutes. doing the manual conversion (mp3 to wav + normalization) took around 20 minutes and burning them to CD took another 15. to me that is almost about 50% faster. but then again, what is another 30 minutes in the grand scheme of life. :D ciao!
