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

[Ian Monroe <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Guess I wasn't clear. I don't want to create audio CDs. I want to have 
all my MP3s burnt to CDs, as MP3s, preserving directories (but I 
obviously don't care about file permissions and whatnot). It will take 
about 30 CDs, so it has to be pretty automated.

For instance, I did find something called:
http://www.joat.ca/software/cddump.html

that looks like it might fit the problem, but it specifically says that 
its not useful for large amounts of data. I'm not sure why. It doesn't 
say anything in the man page about it. Its also unmaintained. So if 
someone knows of another solution...

cdbkup is an example of a utility that would be good, except it uses tar 
files instead of just straight iso9660.
