Creating Music CDs from MP3 Files with Ubuntu Hardy Heron
Posted by: dragonblogger // Category: Internet, Technology, UbuntuThere is such an easy way to take your MP3 files and burn them to your own custom music CD with Ubuntu, it is actually faster and easier than most programs on Windows. The program I use is called K3B and it works perfectly. To download it and use the program just follow these easy steps.
- Open a Terminal Window
- Type “sudo apt-get install k3b”
- Click on your Applications -> Sound and Music
- Click on K3B
The program now loads up, here is a screenshot:
Now just click on “New Audio CD Project”
Now you just browse to the files you want to put on your CD and Drag & Drop them into the bottom box like such:

When you have filled the CD with the songs you want click on the “Burn” button to the left near the bottom window (center area) and the program will automatically convert your MP3 files to WAVE files and create you an Audio CD that will play in almost all CD/DVD players.
Pretty simple huh?

on ubuntu by default k3b will not convert unless libk3b2-extracodecs is installed also.

k3b doesn’t warn you that you should have additional codecs installed.
