wav to iso and iso to audio cd

[Paul Smith]

Dear All

Considering that one has a bunch of wav files, what it is easiest way
of creating an ISO file corresponding to an audio CD containing all
those wav files?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

If you have k3b installed (can get it through yum), you can create a new 
audio CD in that and then click "Burn".  In the burn dialogue, there is 
a checkbox that says "Only create image".  If you click that then you 
should be able to write audio CD iso images.

Cheers,

You don't create an iso file to burn an audio cd. An audio cd doesn't
have a file system on it.

At the prompt:

cdrecord -audio dev=/dev/cdwriter files*.wav

Do a man cdrecord and look for the -audio option.

Also, in gnome, I think you can do it by drag-and-drop. Just insert
the blank cd in the drive. By default, nautilus will pop up a window
for burning the cd and you drag and drop files in that window. 
Never did it that way though.

Thanks to both, but I was wondering if everything could be
accomplished by using only the command line.

That'd be just an "image" for a disc, not an "ISO".  ISO being a poor
abbreviation for the standard defining data discs (ISO9660).

Did you go through the cdrecord man file?  The "-audio" section seems to
indicate that you can make a disc just from a collection of audio files.
That is a command line tool.

Thanks, Tim. I do know how to use cdrecord to create an audio cd.
However, I would like to create a single file (iso-like?) with the
image of the audio cd.

cdrdao does this.  From the man page:

read-cd
        Copies all tracks of the inserted CD to an image file and
        creates a corresponding toc-file.  The name of the image file
        defaults to "data.bin" if no --datafile option is given.

You'll have two files, one is an image of the audio data and the other
is the table of contents (toc) file that describes how the tracks are
laid out.
