burn mp3 data disc to CD-R on FC5

[crmpicco]

I currently have about 7 or 8 folders of mp3s on my hard disk.

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of how to burn the mp3s to a CD (just a regular CD-R). Is there existing software on my FC5 installation that will allow me to do this? Or will I need to install software from the net? (which is a problem as I have no WWW access on the laptop) :(

I may be able to get the laptop setup with WWW access, but all I have is a SpeedTouch USB Modem and a Tiscali (UK) internet connection. Not sure if that would work ok with the driver I have on disk - the one that Tiscali sent me.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,
Picco

There are various recording software tool avaible. There's nero burning rom, alcohol 120%, standard burning software-packages that where / are shipped with the burner or laptop etc..

Try google on one of these brand-names :)

There are a few out there for Gnome - the one which I found was called Nautilus. I've never used it so I don't know how good it is.

Worth a try I guess. I'm not sure whether there is anything built in which burns cds, but I would have thought so.

Do you have any form of network access?

the command line utilities mkisofs and cdrecord would be your best bet. (the man pages will have the relevant info). Its a two step process - make a cdimage using mkisofs, and then burn it to cd using cdrecord.
you can then reuse the cdimage to make multiple cd's.
