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

[Ian Monroe <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Right, you don't have to tar up anything to burn it to a CD, its just so 
happens that cdbkup uses tar's backing-up functionality, which isn't 
what I want.

I've been playing around with multicd http://danborn.net/multiCD/, but 
it seems to enjoy spitting out binary at me and creating unmountable 
.iso files.
