and from there, 'CD-Writing-HOWTO'. Simple instructions for "track at
once"-method:

<p>First the usual CDParanoia things, like:

(put first CD to be ripped into CDROM)

$ cdparanoia -v -B -d /dev/sr0 4-5

$ mv track04.wav 01_funny_little_song.wav

$ mv track05.wav 02_another_interesting_song.wav

(switch another CD into CDROM)

$ cdparanoia -v -B -d /dev/sr0 3-3

$ mv track03.wav 03_a_lovesong.wav

(take the CD out from CDROM)

Now what we want, is to burn an 'album' with three songs in the order they
are numbered here, ie, 01_funny_little_song.wav first and
03_a_lovesong.wav last. First switch to root:

$ su
password

and then

# cdrecord -scanbus

Cdrecord 2.0 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 Jörg Schilling
Linux sg driver version: 3.5.29
Using libscg version 'schily-0.7'

        0,6,0     6) *
        0,7,0     7) *

Here we see that (in my system) it shows a Plextor drive with device
number 0,0,0. That means that after we put a blank CD into CD-writer the
recording command will finally be something like:

# cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 speed=16 driveropts=burnfree -pad -audio 0?_*.wav

After this we should have our new 'album' created. It is advisable to name
the WAV's immediately after ripping in such a way that first comes a
two-digit decimal number showing the ordering number of that particular
track and then the name of the song.
