CD Burning ?

[ivydale]

first of all I am a complete novice. My wife copied some old records to a flashdrive, how can I burn them to a disc to play in the car? What disc do I use. I am working with windows vista, and got on to this site via my flashdrive, searching for a way to copy it to a cd Ivydale

ivydale: Wrong forum. VLC doesn't burn anything.

sorry to pop this stale thread, but this works.

It seems that what was really asked is how to get a playlist to generate duped file output rather than play in VLC.

I had been looking for this solution for some time and here's how to get a directory
that relates to the playlist so that you can then independently burn it to CD.

Use AudioM it's a java program on sourceforge that will work with the m3u type
playlists and generate a directory with the files in it that you want to burn.

Then, infarecorder will burn the directory to the CD.

It's a barely capable 'nix program but it runs as Java anywhere and it did the job.

Something that would work just as well as VLC being able to burn CDs would be to have some way of taking a VLC playlist file and importing that into a CD-burning program such as K3b. I have a VLC playlist of a couple hundred audio MP3s from various directories on my hard drive that I'd like to burn to a data CD (or copy it to a USB flash drive.) It would take hours to go through those directories and manually add all those files to K3b. Is there any way to automate that? I actually have a number of VLC playlists, some with several hundred files.

VLC can save m3u playlists. There are burning softwares supporting m3u playlists. There are softwares/scripts for copying/moving files according to m3u playlists.

... K3b ...

You actually can do this in K3B, what you do is first open an audio cd project and open the m3u into it. Then make a data cd project. Then select all the tracks in the audio cd project and drag them up to the tab for the data cd project. You have no idea how long it took me to figure that out (I was in the exact same spot as you).

Thanks for the response, mederi. I will try what mattyfu suggests, and/or what some others suggested in the same thread. Good info!
