Trippen Out

okay if you are new to Linux in general or have been using it for a while and just have not figured out how to burn from mp3 right to cd and have it playable with out first running all sorts of converter software to change it to wav or something else then this faq is for you.. this is for ubuntu dapper drake and works with gnome and or kde here is what you will need

Linux of course
ubuntu
gnome/kde
k3b
mp3s

the reason i picked k3b is it was the easiest for a newb like me to install and use you can get this program a few ways.. first you can compile it from source.. im a newb and did not choose this option second is you can use an APT-GET method and is the way i went about it.. so here is all you have to do..


now once you have k3b installed on your system by default it does not burn mp3 to cd you will need to add something else and its as easy as this command

after that your all set open k3b select create audio cd then browse for your files like any other program once your all set just click burn .. hope this helps save you time from having to run scripts or manually converting all your mp3s to wav or other formats..

also an even easier way to get this done is using the synaptic package manager you can find this under your SYSTEM menu then ADMINISTRATION and click synaptic package manager .. enter your password as if it was a sudo command when it pops up click on search type in k3b and when it prompts you scroll down the list and mark it for installation this will auto select all your dependency as well .. except for the libk3b2-mp3 either search for that or just apt-get install it as above..now if your using gnome you may not meet all the required files in which case you will have to throw in the following command)
