It would be nice to have the option to burn in
disc-at-once/session-at-once mode (and thus avoid the
gap between songs where applicable).
just adding -sao to the cdrecord options is not
sufficient, as you also need to pass info on the length
of each track.

    Maybe using cdrdao instead of cdrecord would be easier or
    something. But dao mode would definately be great!

    I really would like to see DAO/SAO support inside of
    mp3burn, because I like to see CDTEXT support inside of
    mp3burn...
    But I actually don't have a way to get the real size of a
    mp3 file without fully decoding it (I need an accuracy of
    abount 1 sector (1/75sec)). I you have a solution for this
    problem, tell me :).

    Well, you name the solution: Fully decode it (of course
    without saving the decoded stream) to get the exact size,
    create the .toc or whatever is needed, then burn the way it
    works now (with pipes). Will use no more space than it
    currently does, and only take a very little longer. Nowadays
    this is pretty fast, "mpg123 -t"'ing an entire album takes
    me (1800+ XP Athlon, MP3s nfs mounted over 100MBit network)
    30 seconds. This is totally acceptable, and even more since
    you would probably make this optional. Think about it, I
    think it would work great this way!

    I have written
    href='http://www.formorer.de/code/'>mp3rlburn<a> a few years
    ago, which is a mp3burn like program with similar syntax,
    but working with CDRDAO, on-disk-wave files and CD-TEXT
    support. I dropped support for this because I don't liked it
    that I had to decode the files to disk to use a DAO mode...
    (needed for cd-text) and the support for cdrdao was broken
    at that time (don't know if its better yet). I talked to the
    cdrecord author at the CEBIT this year and have a few new
    ideas to implement support for DAO. In the worstest case I
    have to decode them to detect the size, but I hope there
    would be another solution.

    Seconded! I can't listen to Dark Side of the Moon with gaps. It's criminal, I tell you.
