Creating audio CD with Xfburn

[Moderator christophe]

I had some MP3 audio files to burn to audio CD. Xfburn complained that gstreamer couldn’t convert the files to create the CD. However, XMMS would play the MP3 files just fine. To spare the gory details of how I came about the solution, here’s the workaround:
1. Download the gstreamer “good” (already installed), “bad,” and “ugly” plugins. (Xfburn STILL didn’t work, so this step MAY be unneccessary?)
2. Use WinFF to decode MP3 to WAV. Worked. (And very fast!)
3. Xfburn then burned the CD as expected (from the new WAV file).

So it’s a 2 (or 3) step process.

You likely could have burned them as a data disc rather than an audio disc. This would have maintained the files as mp3’s and “most” devices will see them and handle them accordingly. Creating an audio disc requires the conversion. An antiquated process for audio files.

I’ve taken all my CD’s and put them onto one big flashdrive. Unfortunately none of the player apps that I’ve found are very good at managing them other than to just select something and play it.

Someday I’d like to find an app that would look at them and try to classify them by genre and have a random play mode with options that would allow me to reclassify them, rate them, or even delete ones not worth keeping, and be able to create and save playlists or import or export them as well.

Just dreaming aloud. I used to burn CD’s to take out on the Sailboat or play in the car back when I had a car with a CD changer. Now I have 200 of them with me all the time, just no good way to play the ones I like easily.

I have never heard of Ballroom DJ. Another option would be Clementine. It will play just about anything. You can create play lists as you mentioned, get tags, import export, convert, etc. It’s worth a look and available.
