While this would work, passing each individual song title to the script
can get a little 
touchy ....


cd-script Dixie!Dregs!-!01!-!Wages!of!Weirdness.mp3  Dixie!Dregs!-!02!-!Peaches!En!Regalia.mp3 Dixie!Dregs!-!03!-!Freefall.mp3 \
Dixie!Dregs!-!04!-!Aftershock.mp3 Dixie!Dregs!-!05!-!The!Bash.mp3 Dixie!Dregs!-!06!-!Night!Meets!Light.mp3 Dixie!Dregs!-!07!-!Refied!Funky!Chicken.mp3\
Dixie!Dregs!-!08!-!Jessica.mp3 Dixie!Dregs!-!09!-!What!if.mp3 Dixie!Dregs!-!10!-!Sleeveless!in!Seattle.mp3 Dixie!Dregs!-!11!-!Ionized.mp3 \
Dixie!Dregs!-!12!-!The!Great!Spectacular.mp3 Dixie!Dregs!-!13!-!Dixie.mp3


Which was the track listing of the last CD I made (yes, those are the
filenames of the MP3s, as I got them off Napster). Actually, I had room
on the CD, so I added a couple other songs.
(and I have other songs by the Dregs, with filenames that start with
"Dixie!Dregs", so just saying "cd-script Dixie!Dregs*.mp3" would not
work, either, unfortunately, as that would grab files I wouldn't want on
this CD)

Now you know why I'd prefer a point-and-click or drag-and-drop GUI; way
too much typing. <G>

(even an ncurses-based console client would be Ok, like mc [midnight
commander]; I just don't wanna have to either type all that much, or
rename all my existing files)

Appreciate all the effort, tho, Bill. Thanks. If I can't get a GUI I
like, I may try this method.
