How to create a music CD from mp3 files?

Brasero

It comes default with Ubuntu. Simple interface, but powerful features.

Some of them:

Data CD/DVD:

• supports edition of discs contents (remove/move/rename files inside directories)
• can burn data CD/DVD on the fly
• automatic filtering for unwanted files (hidden files, broken/recursive symlinks, files not conforming to joliet standard, ...)
• supports multisession
• supports joliet extension
• can write the image to the hard drive
• can check disc file integrity

Audio CD:

• write CD-TEXT information (automatically found thanks to gstreamer)
• supports the edition of CD-TEXT information
• can burn audio CD on the fly
• can use all audio files handled by Gstreamer local installation (ogg, flac, mp3, ...)
• can search for audio files inside dropped folders
• full edition of silences between tracks

CD/DVD copy:

• can copy a CD/DVD to the hard drive
• can copy CD and DVD on the fly
• supports single-session data DVD
• supports any kind of CD

If it's not already in your system, you can install it easily via Software Center, or, via command line with sudo apt-get install brasero.

K3b is my favorite burning application for Linux. K3b's interface would be very familiar to someone with a background in Nero on Windows. I heartily recommend K3b. Click here to install or run the following:

sudo apt-get install k3b

I have had trouble with Brasero making coasters in the past, and its minimal approach to output prevented me from discerning why.

Default Ubuntu's CD Burning Brasero can utilize that,. it is integrating in nautilus to. try to copy paste your music collection into your mounted blank CD / DVD. and then burn it on nautilus extra menu.
