I have the same issue, no mp3 cd burning option. In a version of suse I used, it showed up, but disappeared after an update. I haven’t seen the option outside of that one time and screen shots on the net. I have all my music in the vorbis format and very few mp3s. The cd player in my truck will play mp3 cds, so it would be nice if I could burn an mp3 cd from banshee instead of the search, copy, convert, burn, clean up method that I currently have to use.

Hey Aaron,
Many thanks for the wonderfully useful Banshee. I just have one gripe though. While everyone I see on the web seems to be able to write MP3 CDs using banshee, I do not get th MP3 option when I want to write a CD. I only get one option – to write Audio CD. Is there
any specific plugin that I have to install in order to enable writing MP3 CDs. I am on Ubuntu Feisty. Would be grateful for any advice.

“Itâ€™s â€œGilouche,â€ but itâ€™s only available in SLED. Itâ€™s not released yet.”

RFE:

Please make sure that this can transcode MP3s for burning on the CD. My biggest annoyance with Linux is downloading a low-bitrate MP3 and then not easily being able to burn an audio CD of it. I end up copying to a windows box and burning from there as WiMP handles it easily!

Awesome! I can definately see myself using this feature.

Just a quick question, when do you plan on releasing Banshee 0.11? I’m so excited that I can finally stop using CastPodder, and am really looking forward to this release. Internet Radio looks like a nice feature too.

The new burning feature looks really great!

But my most missing feature: A queue where i can add songs to interrupt the default order of playing tracks (like the “party mode” in rhythmbox).

Great work! Banshee is really a great piece of software!

“I will use a user-configurable pattern to create default the default directory structure.”

Will this also be used for usb mass storage devices? My media player device currently “works” with banshee but it is not really usful, because i don’t need the files in the device’s root…

The new burning stuff looks awseome… hope I will get it running soon, right now it crashes on my at startup

Sweet. Banshee is finally growing up to become my end all be all music app. Just a few feature requests for CD burning though. A checkbox or preference to automatically normalize the CD would be great. Replay gain might be useful here but I’ve never had much luck with replay gain. Also gotta be able to specify the gap length between tracks. Vital if two back to back live songs are on there. Finally I really like CD burning apps that allow you to quickly and easily do a crossfade on two selected songs.

Arcterex: I will probably add directory support for MP3/Data CDs at some point now that CD creation is abstracted out into a view. However, when I finish porting MP3/Data support to this new CD burning layer, I will use a user-configurable pattern to create default the default directory structure.
