1 [cdrtools][] is my package of choice for burning CDs, DVDs, etc.
2 There is a detailed [Gentoo tutorial][] to get you started, but usage
3 will look something like
7 $ mkisofs -o /tmp/image.iso /tmp/image
8 $ sudo cdrecord -eject dev=/dev/cdrom /tmp/image.iso
10 [ISO-9660][] has fairly strict filename restrictions, see `-iso-level`
11 in `mkisofs(8)` or [Wikipedia][] for details.
13 To rip an ISO from a CD, you can use
15 $ sudo readcd dev=/dev/cdrom f=/tmp/image.iso
17 You can mount an ISO using the `loop` option
19 $ sudo mount -o loop image.iso /mnt/image
21 To burn an audio CD (for old-school players that don't understand
22 filesystems), try something like:
24 $ cdrecord -v speed=1 dev=/dev/cdrom -eject -dao -audio -pad *.wav
26 To rip audio CDs, I usually use [abcde][].
30 If you don't like cdrtools, there is also the fork [cdrkit][] which
31 dates back to a 2006 license dispute between cdrtools author Jörg
32 Schilling and the folks at Debian.
