Thanks for the offer of helping with a wav file. I converted my mp3s to wav files using soundconvertor, edited the wav files' tags in k3b and burned the disc. Went quite well. Now, I am not sure what to read from this. I was, after all, able to burn mp3 files directly to make an audio CD a few times in the last few days. I suppose I need to repeat the experiment with another set of mp3 files and see how it goes. > Does Nautilus have an option allowing you to create an audio CD image file? > If so try it.

Not worried about the coasters as much as I am about the reliability of the Debian system that I am used to. I couldn't find an option in Nautilus to make a an audio cd. I gave up on Nautilus for this task. > > Try setting K3b to the lowest speed and burn an image only,without cd > text enabled. That I haven't tried yet. Well, actually, I did try a fixed speed of 40x or so (instead of the top 48x) and got the same problem. Maybe a much lower speed will be one of the experiments. > > I see a couple of weird things in your K3b log:- > Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid) > (and as noted by tv.debian) the fifo error - which shows the failure is > very early in the audio cd creation process.

So am I, since in that case I would get the problem every time. Thanks. -- Please reply to this list only. I read this list on its corresponding newsgroup on gmane.org.
