3.4 Audio CD recording (Creating CDs playable on
your Home Stereo from other CDs, MP3, WAV
etc.)
NeroLINUX provides two general methods for creating an audio track: you can
build it from a file or taking an existing audio track from another CD.
If wish to build the audio track from a file, all you need to do is to select the audio
file you want to record from NeroLINUX's file system tree and drag and drop it
down into the track list (the pane connected to the second icon in the destination
area). You will see an entry being added to the track list reading the filename of
the audio file it was built from and the audio track size in bytes to the right.
Notice, that you can only use audio files that NeroLINUX can recognize. The
default configuration supports MP3, OGG and WAV files but it is also possible to
add others (see 'advanced configuration'). Note, that NeroLINUX needs some
additional command line tools to be installed on your system to be able to work
with MP3 and OGG files. See section “Software Requirements” for more details.
Taking an existing audio track from another CD is not really much different.
Instead of selecting a file from the file system tree you select a track from one of
the CD-ROM drives listed in the 'CD-ROM Drives' tree in NeroLINUX's source
area.
To copy audio tracks on-the-fly using NeroLINUX you must clear the 'Precache
audio tracks' check box in NeroLINUX's preferences:
