Hmm... how did I do this way back when...

mpg321 -w <outfile> <infile>

Make sure <outfile> ends in .wav, otherwise this next step will have
troubles...

sox <outfile> <cdda file>

<cdda file> will want to be a file name that ends in .cdr, for sox to
recognise it needs to output in that form (CD audio).

cdrecord speed=<CD-R speed> dev=<CD-R device name> -eject -audio <cdda file>
<cdda file> ...

Where you list all of the tracks you want to burn on the command line.

That worked for me the last time I tried it, however YMMV.  You may want to
try putting -dummy as the first argument to cdrecord first up, just to make
sure it all works before risking a coaster.

Incidentally, you can write a script to do all of the above - give it the
name of all the MP3s you want, in the order you want them, and it'll produce
a music CD for you.  If scripting isn't your thing, I'd recommend O'Reillys
"Learning the Bash Shell", simply because most of their books are top notch.

Probably because Napster has changed their whole way of working - you can't
download mp3s any more because of copyright issues.

Start converting your collection to Ogg Vorbis files NOW!

Samba script?  You mean config?  Try this:

[global]
	debug level = 1
	syslog only = yes
	syslog = 255

	printing = lprng
	printcap name = /etc/samba/printcap.smb
	load printers = yes

	server string = My Samba Server
	client code page = 437

	name resolve order = host wins bcast
	dns proxy = yes
	wins support = no

	guest account = nobody
	invalid users = root
	preserve case = yes
	short preserve case = yes
	null passwords = yes

	workgroup = WORKGROUP

	socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=4096 SO_RCVBUF=4096

	encrypt passwords = no
	os level = 65
	domain master = yes
	local master = yes
	preferred master = yes

[homes]
	comment = Home Directories
	browseable = yes
	read only = no
	create mask = 0700
	directory mask = 0700
	guest ok = yes

[printers]
	comment = All Printers
	browseable = yes
	path = /tmp
	printable = yes
	public = yes
	writable = no
	create mode = 0700
	guest ok = yes

You'll want to write your own /etc/samba/printcap.smb file.
