Creating Music CDs from MP3 Files with Ubuntu Hardy Heron

Posted by: dragonblogger  //  Category: Internet, Technology, Ubuntu

There 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.

  1. Open a Terminal Window
  2. Type “sudo apt-get install k3b”
  3. Click on your Applications -> Sound and Music
  4. Click on K3B

The program now loads up, here is a screenshot:

K3B Main Menu

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:
K3B Drag and Drop
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?
