Make audio

Make Audio is an intuitive graphical tool designed for creating audio CDs from MP3 or WAV files. One of its best features is its ability to simply arrange a playlist of all of the songs that you want to include in your CD. The application enables you to convert MP3 files to WAV before burning them onto the CD.

Before using Make Audio, it is important to ensure that you have the necessary requirements. These requirements include Perl, Tk, lame, cdrecord (optionally), mpg123 (optionally), mp3tag (optionally), mp3info (optionally), and gtk-shell, only for the 0.2.3 version.

The newest release of Make Audio, version x.x.x, includes several changes designed to enhance the overall user experience. Some of these changes include changing the dot directory to $ENV{HOME}/.mkaudio/ and data dir to $ENV{HOME}/.mkaudio/data/, adding a "Play/Stop" button and functions that play MP3s, disabling MP3info due to bugs with colors in mp3tag output, adding a "Process output" window and some IPC functions, splitting the application into two parts (mkaudioCD and burn_part), cleaning up the code, checking bugs with file extensions in upper case, checking bugs with call undefined subroutine NEW, removing unnecessary checkbuttons (such as "Remove Raw files"), transitioning from mpg123 to lame as the MP3 decoder, eliminating the need for sox at that version, and making some GUI design changes.

Overall, Make Audio is a fantastic tool for creating audio CDs that is both easy to use and features many helpful features that make the process simple and straightforward.
