#
#  This script takes a list of MP3 files on the command line and burns
#  them as CDDA tracks onto a CD.  The resulting CD can be played in
#  virtually any standard audio CD player.
#
#  There is some setup required.  In particular, you must install the
#  following programs first:
#
#     mpg123-0.59r   http://mpg.123.org/
#     sox-12.16      http://home.sprynet.com/~cbagwell/sox.html
#     cdrecord-1.8   http://www.fokus.gmd.de/nthp/employees/schilling/cdrecord.html
#                    ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/cdrecord.tar.gz
#
#  You also must setup your /etc/cdrecord.conf.  For my Yamaha CRW4416S
#  which is set to use SCSI ID 2, have the following settings:
# 
#     CDR_DEVICE=yamaha
#     CDR_SPEED=4
#     CDR_FIFOSIZE=8m
#     yamaha= 0,2,0 -1 -1
#
#  Generally, the script must be run as root because only root has permission
#  to run cdrecord on most systems.  Use a sequence like this to create an
#  Audio CD from a collection of MP3 files:
#
#     # mp3tocdr 04-you_wreck_me.mp3 08-dont_fade_on_me.mp3
#     # mp3tocdr 07-banjo_rapsody.mp3 09-under_my_skin.mp3 08-south.mp3
#     # mp3tocdr 07-jj.mp3 02-easy_street.mp3 13-vincent.mp3
#     ...
#     # cdrecord -v -fix -eject
