M3u2toc is a Perl script that helps in generating CD-Text enabled cdrdao TOC files using an XMMS MP3 playlist. It simplifies the process of creating these files, making it easier and faster for users.
It's important to note that m3u2toc is not a complete end-to-end solution for MP3 to CD audio burning. It simply produces a TOC file from your M3U playlist, leaving the decoding and burning process to you. However, the developer has expressed willingness to implement decoding features if there is a demand for it.
One of the things that sets m3u2toc apart from other software is its simplicity. It focuses on a single problem and solves it well, instead of trying to do too much and failing miserably. With just four simple steps, you can burn your MP3s as an audio CD: compile and save a playlist in XMMS, make sure the ID3 tags are filled, set the output plugin in XMMS to "disk writer" and decode MP3s, run m3u2toc on the playlist file to create a TOC file complete with author and title CD-Text data, and finally run cdrdao using the TOC file and let the CD burn.
If you're tired of manually preparing TOC files with CD-Text data when burning CDs, give m3u2toc a try. With its simplicity and focus on solving a single problem well, it might just become your go-to software for creating CD-Text enabled cdrdao TOC files.
