I am using k3b, which incorporates cd-text.
Unfortunately, k3b insists on the presence of media in the device.
Even if I losetup /dev/loop0  <someFileofAppropriateSize>
and edit k3brc and change sr0 to loop0, k3b still wants media
in the device.
So, that is why I am looking for a burner emulator.
cdemu is not available for fedora. I found its sources on
on sourceforge, but there is no info on how to integrate all that
into a single install file. As it is, it is way to fragmented.
Not clear if all one needs is the client or the daemon or both,
not to mention the other 3 or more packages listed on sourceforge,
If you have info on a fedora cdemu for fedora, please share.

Thanx.
