My first attempt to use cdrecord in DAO mode failed; that was a while ago and I haven't tried recently, with a newer version of cdrecord and a different CDR drive. > 2) cat all files into one humungous track. You can do that but then your CD will just have the one track and finding places on it will be hard work. Also I don't think you can use cat on WAV files as they have headers which would appear as bursts of noise - but you could join then together with ecasound, audacity or similar. -- Anahata anahata@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -+- http://www.treewind.co.uk Home: 01638 720444 Mob: 07976 263827
