Ok im going line by line here with you..
i understand what you said about standard syntax for defining a function.
now.. My mp3 are stored in /home/Fedora11/MP3
You state there is no need to quote a variable assignment unless there is a literal white space or other special characters.
if you put

Code:
AUDIOPATH=$PLAYLIST/MP3

how does it know where the mp3 are???

then you state that if you really need to create these files ahead fo time there is no need to use external command touch. again your removing the directory listing. How does it know where the directories are??

Ill wait to you reply with this then ill jump down to the next

MP3ROASTER(1)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					     MP3ROASTER(1)

NAME

       mp3roaster - A Perl hack for burning audio CDs out of MP3/OGG/FLAC/WAVs

SYNOPSIS

       mp3roaster [OPTION]... "MP3/OGG/FLAC/WAV files"

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

       MP3Roaster should run on all Unix like operating systems which have Perl and wodim installed. It has been developed on Debian GNU/Linux.

OPTIONS

       All options have been imported, now we should add specific descriptions for each option.

       -D, --dev
	   CDR device to use

       -s, --speed
	   Burn speed

       -d, --dummy
	   Burn with laser off

       -a, --dao
	   Burn in disk-at-once (DAO) mode for gapless recording

       -b, --burnfree
	   Turn on Buffer Underrun Free writing

       -t, --temp
	   Temporary directory

       -m, --mp3dec
	   MP3 decoder to use

       -l, --lowercase
	   Convert filenames to lowercase

       -S, --spaces
	   Replace spaces with underscores

       -B, --brackets
	   Replace brackets with underscores

       -q, --quotes
	   Replace quotes with underscores

       -Q, --questions

       -V, --version
	   Show version and infos

RETURN VALUE

       mp3roaster returns 0 on success, 1 on error.

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.

BUGS

       There may be some minor troubles regarding file names, feel free to report any bugs you may encounter (In fact you shouldn't).

NOTES

       There are currrently no special notes.
