Status of the mkisofs iconv patch ¶

Joerg Schilling filed a ​bug report to Debian for including that patch. However, this patch is absolutely necessary for mkisofs to understand UTF-8 as an input encoding (and thus for creation of CDs with Windows-readable non-ASCII filenames in UTF-8 locales). Ignore that flame war, but never report problems with charset set support directly to Joerg Schilling!

Burn mp3s onto an Audio CD ¶

If you have lame installed you can burn mp3s to a CD that will play in an ordinary audio CD player with a simple script like this

#!/bin/bash -e
count=0

for TRACK in *
do
lame --decode "$TRACK" $((++count)).wav
rm -f "$TRACK"
done

cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc -audio -pad $(ls)

Change dev=/dev/hdc to suit your system.

Get a copy of the tracks you want into one folder, cd into the folder, put a blank CD in the drive and then run the script
