CD-burning integration about clementine HOT 20 OPEN

From kamikazow on March 05, 2010 12:53:02

Should be ease to achieve by just converting the current playlist into a CUE file and
let the associated recording application handle decoding the individual tracks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cue_file

I just have to comment: This is the way to do it - not by including CD burning and ripping in the program itself,
thereby adding bloat, but instead facilitating cooperation with existing applications. :)

It would be no bloat. If it can put songs in a media player it should be able to put them on a CD. It should be able to play a CD and rip it to MP3 also, so you need only drag the tracks to your library, or click OK and be done with it.

Does anybody know something about details of a CUE file that typical CD-recording software expects?

I know how CUE sheet looks and I know how it works, I just never had anything to do with recording software + CUEs.

Many software packages I've run into only work with codepages such as ISO-8859-1. Codepages like 949 (Korea), Shift-JIS, and others can fit in this range very easily (they just use multiple chars). Encoding to such codepages should not be problem with QTextCodec (although QTextCodec does not have everything built-in).

I ran into this issue once specifically with Nero Burning ROM a long time ago on Windows. I had to convert a Japanese UTF8 file back to ISO-8859-1 (and I encoded the Japanese text to Shift-JIS as any player from Japan might actually expect for CD-TEXT encoding). Otherwise, Nero would reject the file.

You may want to encode the entire file as UTF-8 (with only safe characters within ASCII range, nearly obligated to use ISO-8859-1), then encode the fields TITLE and ARTIST to a user-selected option, such as something that says something like

Album language: (spinbox options)
"Japanese (Shift-JIS) (most common)" <-- strangely still used on 99% of Japanese sites
"Japanese (EUC-JP)"
"Chinese (PRC) (GB-2312) (most common)"
"Chinese (PRC) (EUC-CN)"
"Chinese (HK, TW, Macau)"
"Korean (codepage 949)" <-- I'm not sure if this is used any more with extreme Windows domination and UTF-16 therefore; however, some older players might still use this proprietary codepage; most sites today are UTF-8 (daum.net)
"Korean (EUC-KR)"
"Unicode (all languages)" <-- set as default?

I've only covered Asian languages, almost everything else will fit fine within ISO-8859-1, including most accented letters and extra-marked letters. Arabic and Indian languages could be listed as well because they probably need their own encoding as well.

Thanks!

Which players have this functionality?

clementine will hopefully not become as bloated as itunes.

A decent burning application is LiquidCD (free)! It's not opening m3u tho. http://maconnect.ch/

In the mean time is there any work arounds? Let's say I want to burn my 60 favorite tracks, I can't figure out how to go about it, except manually adding one by one in a burning app.
Thanks in advance for any help.

If you use Linux there is a relatively painless way to do this using
playlists you create in Clementine. From within Clementine create the
playlist, then save it as either a .m3u or .pls file. You want to open
this playlist file in Brasero. If you use a Gnome-based system (I use
LinuxMint Gnome and it works well) and Brasero is installed, you can
right-click the file in the file manager, select Open With -> Brasero.
Brasero will open and load the playlist and wait for you to insert a
black CD-R disc.

It's not an integration within Clementine, but it is really very
painless - Create playlist, save name, open file manger, right-click on
playlist file, open with Brasero, insert CDR and off you go.

Note I checked k3b, which I also have installed, and it does NOT
recognize any of the playlist formats as legit with respect to creating
an audio, which very much surprises me as it does so many other things
very well.

Regards.

Also, on Gnome with GnomeBaker I'm able to just drag and drop songs from Clementine's playlist to a CD compilation.

@11/12, Thank you.! This worked perfectly, it will more than suffice in the meantime.

Integrating MP3 and Audio CD burning would rock my socks off.

This is the only reason I keep foobar2000 installed. this app would have every feature anyone could need if it could burn cds!

Still a thing, as CDs used less and less? Should we mark it invalid?

from clementine.

I made an account again just to write this. Congrats on this.

My father is in his mid 60's and at one point long long ago knew more about computers than I did. Now I manage his system and try to keep him away from the bad things out there. I'm also a gigantic fan of FOSS. Unfortunately he insists on using Windows despite Linux being able to do everything he wants (mom uses Mint which works just fine for her needs.)

Here's the thing, creating a .cue file (or equivelent) isn't exactly user intuitive. He was using software by a certain fruit company and happens to like this better. As I see it there are three good options here. Include the ability to burn in-house, make the files selectable to drag into another burning application, or somehow have a plugin that could do it.

I know bloat was mentioned, hard disc space isn't exactly an issue these days. There are other use cases though (old laptops for example) where space is a concern.

To the last comment, I know CDs are used less and less, but the CD player in his truck still works for now (if it had Bluetooth I'd just hook it to his phone and call it a day.)

Sorry for the wall of text, but I believe context is important. In the meantime I'm going to try to teach him how to drag them into Exact Audio Copy.
