Burning CDs/DVD's

[Toastmaster]

I wrote a python script that takes an m3u playlist file, a short name (like HOUSE01), and a long name. It outputs a PDF with cover art and the meta data. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1116399/SOLID01.pdf is an example of the output. Code is over at https://github.com/kevinreedy/cd-cover-generator/. If this is something other people find useful, I'll tidy it up an announce it in its own thread.

^^ This. Anyway, would it be possible to do MP3 CDs? Are the chances high that you will be encountering a first gen Pioneer CDJ or something that only takes analog audio? Interesting question. BTW, I do MP3 CDs and place as many possible onto one disc. Then I duplicate that disc and just write in Sharpie the tracklist with only title names (due to space). But the quoted post may change my format for the better; just staple sheet after sheet of tracklistings into my CD binder and index it from there. I also usually burn CDs as I progress and get more tunes and try to date them, so I know the recentness of the tracks.

I do 8 tracks per CD, and burn two copies. I used to print out a track list manually, but I'm a nerd and thought "There's got to be a better way!"

I'm interrested! How do I apply this script and with what? Does it work with Mac and PC? This would be super useful!

I have no use for it, but that script is impressive man! Where does it pull the cover art from? The file tags?

If you have time, you should make it into something with a GUI that's easy to use, cos I think a lot of people would appreciate it. Get it up on a web page with a donations button and you might even make a few quid out of it.

Yeah, that looks awesome. Do tell.

Yes. I am really interested. Please share.
