How to burn MP3 files?

Is there a way to burn .mp3 music on CD in Ubuntu 11.10? There is Brasero installed but I also installed k3b.


In brasero, you should be able to select new audio project, then drag and drop files.Freshly opened Brasero

Drag files from nautilus window.


Of course you'll probably notice the files I'm using in this example are .ogg.
That's just another format for multimedia files. You'll want to drag .mp3 files since it sounds like you want them to play on a device that supports mp3.


If your CD player can play MP3 CDs, you can create a Data Project in Brasero and copy your MP3s onto the CD as regular files. This allows you to fit 100--200 songs on a CD depending on their quality.

BUT, different players have different limitations on things like filenames, limits of subdirectories, etc. so it may take some experimenting to figure out what your MP3 CD player can and cannot play.

Otherwise, if your CD player does not support MP3s, you're stuck with regular audio CDs (80 minutes).


Just use Asunder. sudo apt-get install asunder. It works out of the box with fixed (up to 320 kbps) and variable bitrates. Though, I did have to go to preferences and change the CD-ROM device to /dev/sr0.
