[MLUG] Backing up MP3s on CD-R's without tar

[Ian Monroe <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

There are scripts out there that will, given a directory, create the 
ISOs and burn how many CDs are necessary. However, the ones I've seen 
use tar. So instead of a CD of files, you have a CD with a tar file. 
Which is fine if your backing up your system. But since I just want to 
backup my MP3s, I want the files to still be accessible by DVD players 
and whatnot.  So basically, I need a script that creates ISOs, 
preserving directory structure, with as many files as possible on each 
ISO (without splitting any files, so there would probably be a few 
megabytes of wasted space on each CD). It would then be easy to play the 
songs off the CD as well as be able to dump all files if I need to 
restore the backup. And then it would be nice if I could come back later 
and have it only burn new MP3s.

Creating such a script shouldn't be that hard, but it would be nice if 
it was already done.

Any ideas?
