[PLUG] Burning MP3 files with mkisofs and cdrecord


-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I have downloaded MP3 files from this particular site before; and
burned them with Real Player -in XP; but using mkisofs, and cdrecord,
I am getting negative results.

I downloaded fresh MP3 files; changed their original names to numeric;
and stored them in burn2/

edhe@hebrews:~/burn2$ file 70*
70201: MP3 file with ID3 version 2.3.0 tag
70202: MP3 file with ID3 version 2.3.0 tag

70206: MP3 file with ID3 version 2.3.0 tag
70207: MP3 file with ID3 version 2.3.0 tag

I CREATED "Test.iso"

edhe@hebrews:~$ sudo mkisofs -R -o Test.iso burn2/

What does "Unknown file type (unallocated) burn2/.." mean?

I MOUNTED "Test.iso" TO LOOK AT IT.

sudo mount -o loop,ro Test.iso /mnt/burning
edhe@hebrews:~$ sudo mount -o loop,ro Test.iso /mnt/burning
edhe@hebrews:~$ cd /mnt/burning/

I burned the CD image:

edhe@hebrews:~$

I CHECKED THE BURNED CD:

edhe@hebrews:~$ mount /cdrom
mount: block device /dev/hda is write-protected, mounting read-only
edhe@hebrews:~$ cd /cdrom
edhe@hebrews:/cdrom$ ls
70201 70202 70203 70204 702051 702052 70206 70207

I TRIED PLAYING IT WITH MY MP3 PLAYER, AND IT SAYS "NO DISC"

With an MP3 disc that I recorded in XP I noted:
edhe@hebrews:~$ mount /cdrom
mount: block device /dev/hda is write-protected, mounting read-only
edhe@hebrews:~$ cd /cdrom
edhe@hebrews:/cdrom$ ls

10 - 601-thehonorofgod-02-honoringtheanointing-disc2.mp3
11 - 601-thehonorofgod-03-whatmakesonehonorable.mp3

Is it because that "Test.iso" does not look like the above CD that it
won't play ("No Disc")?; and if so, how do I modify the mkisofs commands?
