Exactly seven years ago i posted instructions how to create one on GNU/Linux (also possible on *BSD and Solaris): https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libcdio-devel/2016-03/msg00005.html You need a blank CD-R or a CD-RW. Create a file named NIGHTCATS.TXT with the content which i give between the "--...--" lines (but not those dash lines themselves): ---------------------------------------------------------- Input Sheet Version = 0.7T Text Code = 8859 Language Code = English Album Title = Deeper Dance Artist Name = United Cat Orchestra Songwriter = Various Songwriters Composer = Various Composers Arranger = Tom Cat Album Message = For all our fans Catalog Number = 1234567890 Genre Code = Classical Genre Information = Feline classic music Closed Information = This is not to be shown by CD players UPC / EAN = 1234567890123 Text Data Copy Protection = OFF First Track Number = 1 Last Track Number = 3 Track 01 Title = Deeper Dance Track 01 Artist = Felix and The Purrs Track 01 Songwriter = Friedrich Schiller Track 01 Composer = Ludwig van Beethoven Track 01 Arranger = Tom Cat Track 01 Message = Fritz and Louie once were punks ISRC 01 = XYBLG1101234 Track 02 Title = The Hunt Track 02 Artist = Catwalk Beauties Track 02 Songwriter = Mother Goose Track 02 Composer = unknown Track 02 Arranger = Tom Cat Track 02 Message = Pluck the goose ISRC 02 = XYBLG1100005 Track 03 Title = Harold's Dream Track 03 Artist = Mia Kitten Track 03 Songwriter = Mia Kitten Track 03 Composer = Mia Kitten Track 03 Arranger = Mia Kitten Track 03 Message = ISRC 03 = XYBLG1100006 ---------------------------------------------------------- Create or choose three files as track content. (Not very large, best with size divisible by 2352. If you have real .wav files it would be most realistic.) In the following example the files are named "file1", "file2", "file3". Then you put the CD into the CD burner /dev/sr0 and run: cdrskin dev=/dev/sr0 -v blank=as_needed -eject \ -sao -audio -swab \ input_sheet_v07t=NIGHTCATS.TXT file1 file2 file3 On FreeBSD the drive address is like /dev/cd0. On NetBSD like /dev/rcd0d. On Solaris like /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0s2. When in doubt, use cdrskin --devices to learn your drive's address. Have a nice day :) Thomas
