Hi Folks,
I'm trying to get a ".wav" file (which I also have in a version ".cdr" converted by sox) onto a CD so that the CD can be played on a CD player.
With 'xcdroast' I can get the file onto CD as a "data CD", but this doesn;t work for playing on a CD player.

Right - now this is where I go to the ol' command line mode as usual, assuming that the wav file is in the right form for throwing on to the CD, which I assume it will be if it's a straight conversion from a .cdr,
Well actually it's the other way round -- the .wav is what was saved by 'vsound' from a "Listen Again" session on Radio 4, and the .cdr was converted from the .wav by sox (since it seems that .cdr is the CD format). I could always convert it back ...
what you want to do is...
cdrecord -v dev=/path/to/cd/writer -audio trackname.wav
from a shell, as a user that can play nicely with the cdwriter.
Thanks, I'll try that. I'd tried cdrecord, but not with your particular abracadabra. (Kept getting "read-only device, despite being root and despite the fact that xcdroast can write to it).
Thanks for the suggestion, and all best wishes, Ted.
