(The name of the script is now dialog-cd-writer because is not part of the GNU project but is the same program)
** Read NEWS for last update. **
- Run the script with:
sh dialog-cd-writer
- You must have DIALOG installed; please edit the script if your file location is different. I have dialog in /usr/bin. The variables with the path setting are at the top of the script. (Now the program search dialog and display the location)
- The front-end uses the most common programs for unix cd-writing:
MKISOFS=/usr/bin/mkisofs
CDRECORD=/usr/bin/cdrecord
CDDA2WAV=/usr/bin/cdda2wav
BLADEENC=/usr/local/bin/bladeenc
DIALOG=/usr/bin/dialog
MPG123=/usr/bin/mpg123
You will find this variables with the paths at the top of the script.
Please change the values
if your setting is different.
If you don't have this programs you can find it at the url:

- MPG123 is part of all GNU/Linux distributions. If you have MPG321, please make a soft link:
ln -s /usr/bin/mpg321 /usr/bin/mpg123
Almost all the operations must be executed as ROOT If you have some errors, try to run the commands as ROOT
- When you run the script you'll see this options:
0) Basic Configuration - With this option you can configure
the devices, the speed of your CD-W, and more
***RUN THIS OPTION AS FIRST, PLEASE.***
1) Burn a Data CD - This option mount a data cd, make a iso-image
and burn it on a cd in the CD-W device.
Then unmount the cd and remove the image.
2) Turn CD audio... - Read an audio cd located in the CD-R device,
convert all tracks in cdr files in
the directory that you have chosen.
3) Burn CD audio files... - Read the audio cdr files in the directory
that you have chosen and burn it
on a cd. And then remove the tracks.
4) Burn an audio CD - Execute 2 and 3 - Read and convert
the tracks, burn it and remove it.
5) Burn on-the-fly-data - Burn a data cd on-the-fly.
***SEND ME BUGS PLEASE IF IT DOESN'T WORKS***
With this option the FIFO is not 100% full.
The 1) is safer.
6) Burn on-the-fly-audio - Like 5) but with an audio cd.
***THIS OPTION BURN ALL TRACKS IN ONE TRACK***
(I'm working to fix this problem,
send me advice please).
7) Rip some Cd-track... - You can select some CD-Tracks and write mp3 files.
8) Rip a complete CD... - You can rip a CD in mp3 files.
9) Convert the mp3... - You can convert mp3 files in CDR Tracks.
Then you can burn the tracks with the
option number 3).
10) Burn data files... - You can burn the contents of a directory,
where you can place all the files or
directories that you want to save.
11) Make an ISO... - Make an ISO image
12) Burn an ISO... - Write an ISO image
13) Convert some... - Read some CD-tracks from CD-source and write CD-R files.
- If you want to save the messages in a file, run the script with the options:
dialog-cd-writer 1>log 2>err
- The CONFIGURATION is saved on the '.config' file in the same directory where the script is located. You can change the configuration options by hand or re-run the 0) option.
