To preserve the directory > structure? You use mkisofs when you want to create a CD-ROM with an ISO9660 filesystem on it, so you can mount it. That's why it is called mkisofs: MaKe ISO FileSystem. You do not use it for audio CDs, as these don't contain a filesystem (you cannot mount them), but just a sequence of raw audio tracks, suitable for an audio CD player. > If I had a directory of, say, mp3 files, and I said > > burncd -f /dev/cdrom -s 8 data *.mp3 fixate > > would that work? No. > Or do I have to make an .iso from the mp3's? Yes. You need to put them into a filesystem.
