Playlist to CD?

Added by yu ka about 8 years ago

Hi All,

Forgive my ignorance: is there a way to burn an audio CD out of the playlist I created, please?

Thank you

Ignorance in this case isn't helpful and not productive either.

Probably you've noticed that you can export the playlist in various file formats from within Audacious, but afterwards you need to choose a CD burning program that is capable of importing such playlist files. k3b, for example, used to be able to add tracks in .m3u playlist format. Alternatively, some people use extra tools to convert playlist files into a list of files/URIs.

Looking at the k3b source code, it accepts .m3u playlist files in "Extended M3U" format only. Audacious exports as simple M3U format (which is a plain list of file URIs), so you would need to convert that to extended M3U before k3b would accept it.

Found this:

Bug 72497 - k3b should accept m3u files without extended info

The following works with k3b, since it accepts a list of URLs at the command-line:

k3b --audiocd $(cat playlist.m3u)

Yes, I tried exporting the lists, but I shall try your suggestions now.
Thank you for your help.
