mktoc For Linux

mktoc is an utility that simplifies the steps needed to create audio CD TOC files for the cdrdao CD burning program. For users familiar with ExactAudioCopy or CdrWin, TOC files are synonymous with CUE sheets. The primary goal of mktoc is to create TOC files using a previously generated CUE sheet.

tar xzf mktoc-1.1.2.tar.gz cd mktoc-1.1.2 sudo make install

1. Create a TOC file from a set of WAV files:

mktoc -w *.wav

2. Write a TOC file to 'toc_file.toc', from a set of WAV files:

mktoc -w *.wav toc_file.toc

3. Create a TOC file from a valid CUE file:

mktoc cue_file.cue

4. Write a TOC file to 'toc_file.toc', given an input CUE file:

mktoc cue_file.cue toc_file.toc  5. Tell mktoc to ignore missing WAV file errors. There is a potential that the result TOC file will cause cdrdao to loose pregap information during the burn process:

mktoc -a cue_file.cue

6. Adjust WAV files for a CD writer offset value. For example, if your CD writer has a -30 sample write offset, it can be corrected by offsetting the input WAV files by +30 samples. New WAV files will be placed in the working directory in a new dir called 'wav+30':

mktoc -c 30 < cue_file.cue

7. Adjust WAV files for a CD writer offset value, but create new files in the /tmp directory:

mktoc -c 30 -t < cue_file.cue
