I have bbb-0.0.3-1.i386.rpm installed on my server (from a *long* time ago). You should be able to find it from www.flyn.org/projects/bbb/download.html. I think the current version is 0.0.4. bbb is a replacement for burn_baby_burn. Both are a set of scripts for ripping/burning and generally dealing with CD/CD-R/CD-RWs. I burned many a CD-R with WAV files using it years ago. > I decided that the first step must create a .wav file for each .mp3.
