My goal in this was to make a painless procedure so the less knowledgeable people on my network can make audio CDs from their MP3s and not have to know anything more than "I put this blank CD here, I move some files here, and 20 minutes later my CD comes out". I was hoping there was compression options in mpg123 that would help me, but I guess not. Thanks for the help guys! -Brian
