DESCRIPTION

       mp3roaster A Perl hack for burning audio CDs out of MP3, OGG VORBIS and FLAC files.  The main highlights of this application are an easy to
       use command line syntax and automatic volume leveling support for best audio CD quality.

ENVIRONMENT

DIAGNOSTICS

       This has to be written yet.

EXAMPLES

       Once correctly configured MP3Roaster is very easy to use, just launch it from the command line with a bunch of compressed audio files, here
       is a short example:

	   % mp3roaster "Root Dance.mp3" Free Software.flac bar.ogg Decoded.wav

       This will burn Root Dance.mp3, Free Software.flac bar.ogg and Decoded.wav on your audio CD preserving the song order as specified on the
       command line.

       Here is another example showing the usage of command line options like the dummy option:

	   % mp3roaster -d "Root Dance.mp3" Free Software.flac bar.ogg Decoded.wav

	   This will do the same job as above but with the laser of your
	   CD writer turned off, so no data will be really written.

       You see MP3Roaster is really easy to use, this was one of my main goals while I've written the code: Keep it simple ;)

FILES

       MP3Roaster can be configured through a system wide and a personal configuration file. When you run MP3Roaster it will first check for your
       personal configuration file in your home directory, if no one is found it will fall-back to the system wide configuration files placed in
       /etc.

       By default MP3Roaster installs the configuration files in /etc/mp3roaster, but there are other possible file locations for the
       configuration file:

	   . System wide configuration in /etc

	       . /etc/mp3roaster/mp3roasterrc	   (DEFAULT)
	       . /etc/mp3roasterrc

	   . Personal configuration in your home

	       . ~/.mp3roaster/mp3roasterrc
	       . ~/.mp3roasterrc

       So if you want to have personal MP3Roaster configuration file just copy the system wide configuration file to your home directory and edit
       it.

CAVEHEATS

       None actually.
