drutil and MP3 files

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

I didn’t know this would happen…

I have two applescripts.

The First applescript takes an AIFF file and uses iTunes to convert it to an MP3 file. It then deletes the original AIFF file.

The second applescript copies the new MP3 file to a new folder “to burn” and then issues the following script step to burn an audio CD

set Burn_the_disk to do shell script "drutil -drive internal burn -audio " & quoted form of burn_folder as string

The result is an Audio CD where the MP3 file was converted back to a AIFF file

any thoughts on what happened?

Model: MacBook
AppleScript: 2.1.1
Browser: Safari 530.17
Operating System: Mac OS X (10.6)

I suspect it maybe the fact that a audio cd (music cd) is made up from aiff files.

If you want the mp3’s to burn as normal files, you could try -data.
Which seems would be the option to burn a data cd.

Thanks…

I will try the -data. I realized that most people don’t have a CD player that can play MP3’s so maybe I should stick with the AIFF files
