I have a bunch of wave files and use k3b to create an audio cd (New Audio CD Project), it plays in my CD player from the 1980's. So, unless the OP has an 8 Track CD Player :-) it probably will work. Doesn't k3b just take the wav's and write them to a cdda format anyway? </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> Your way will work, but is unnecessarily complicated... Brasero or Serpentine will convert mp3s, oggs, etc. (whatever gstreamer supports) to the necessary format when burning, without the need to convert it first using soundconverter. </BODY> </HTML>
