This short tutorial describes how to burn an Audio Cd using [[Special:myLanguage/K3b|K3b]] - the KDE Burning Program.

== Starting a Audio CD Project == <!--T:2-->

<!--T:3-->
* Start [[Special:myLanguage/K3b|K3b]] (you can find it in the menu by typing '''k3b''').
* At the bottom half of the [[Special:myLanguage/K3b|K3b]] window click on <menuchoice>New Audio CD Project</menuchoice>

== Copy your music files to the CD == <!--T:4-->

=== If you are lucky === <!--T:5-->

<!--T:6-->
'''K3b''' can convert quite some audio formats automatically for you. Just click on the files you want in the upper half (navigation area) and they will be added to your CD.

<!--T:7-->
{{Note| Most distributions will not install the necessary packages by default. You need to look for a package called '''k3b-codecs''' or similar in your distributions software manager. In some cases you need to add another repository ('''packman''' for openSUSE). }}

=== Otherwise === <!--T:8-->

<!--T:9-->
You need to prepare (convert) the music files to wav-format before [[Special:myLanguage/K3b|K3b]] can handle them. There are many tools available for this on Linux (too many). We will use the [http://pacpl.sourceforge.net Perl Audio Converter] here. It integrates nicely into [[Special:myLanguage/Dolphin|Dolphin]].

<!--T:10-->
* Install '''kde4-papcl''' or a similarly named package using your distributions software manager.
* Go to the folder containing your music files in [[Special:myLanguage/Dolphin|Dolphin]].
* Right click on the files you want to convert.
* Navigate to <menuchoice>Actions -> PAPCL-Convert -> To WAV</menuchoice> in the menu.
* Wait till it informs you that the job has been finished.
* Now you can go back to [[Special:myLanguage/K3b|K3b]] and add the new WAV-files.
* To do so click on the file you want to add.

== Edit the title information == <!--T:11-->

<!--T:12-->
You can give the tracks titles or import those from '''CDDB''' (a online service for track names). To do so double click on the track (lower half of the window).

== Burn the CD == <!--T:13-->

<!--T:14-->
Insert a blank CD-R or CD-RW disc into your cd-writer and click on <menuchoice>Burn</menuchoice>. In the upcomming dialog check if you like the presets and when done click on <menuchoice>Burn</menuchoice>. The CD will now be burned for you.
