Re: [Traverso-devel] song splitting during export

I added an export format for cdrdao yesterday. It doesn't split the files at 
marker positions, but it writes a WAVE and a TOC file with the marker 
positions. If you burn it on a CD, tracks will be added at marker positions. 
You can write the CD with the command "cdrdao write file.toc" and probably some 
options specifying the correct drive. It is completely untested, though, and 
there may be some issues if no end marker is present. Also make sure that there 
is a marker at the very beginning of the song.

At the moment there is only one way to add an end marker if there isn't one for 
any reason: Remove all markers and re-add them. Along with the first marker, 
another one at the beginning and an end marker at the end will be inserted 
automatically.

Currently one Song corresponds to one CD. If you export all Songs, you will get 
a TOC file for each song, rather than one for the entire project. This will 
change in future.

It's not quite what you suggested, since you need to burn a CD and rip it in 
order to get the tracks in MP3 or OGG format. But at least it is possible 
somehow, and a direct export to track files should not be difficult to 
implement. Please report problems / success to the list, I'm curious to hear if 
it works (but I'm not able to answer e-mails before friday).

Greetings
Nicola
