Why you'll love mp32dao

Suppose you have downloaded a bunch of mp3 files. Suppose you want to burn them on a CD, without those annoying clicks between the tracks and with CD-Text support. This is why you're going to use mp32dao.

Samples from the ending of a track are padded together with the beginning of the next to avoid leaving a CD sector half-filled with zeroes. You can avoid clicks between tracks this way.

By using ID3 tags such as ALBUM, AUTHOR, TITLE mp32dao will generate a toc-file with CD-Text info ready to use with cdrdao. Please take care that all MP3 files have the same AUTHOR and ALBUM ID3 fields. If don't mp32dao will name the album "mp3 compilation" and author "VV.AA". Of course this does not apply if you are really creating a compilation. No ID3s mean no CD-Text support.
