Bandcrash v0.9 - now with CD authoring support!

So hey, I’ve been making my albums available on CD lately, and have been using Kunaki to do it. Unfortunately, Kunaki’s upload process is kind of a nightmare and also doesn’t support albums with more than 25 tracks, which many of mine do. So after flailing about with a bunch of awful half-baked unsupported solutions, I decided to take things into my own hand and added CD authoring support to Bandcrash.

Now when you enable CD output, it will generate a cdda directory with three files:

• album.bin: the actual album data (which Kunaki calls an “iso” even though it is not one)
• album.cue: the disc-at-once cue file, usable by most software out there (cdrdao, ImgBurn, etc.)
• album.kunaki.cue: the cue file in Kunaki’s weird proprietary binary format (which Kunaki calls a “cue” even though it is not one)

Anyway, with this you can upload all your data at once to Kunaki instead of having to deal with their awful per-track uploader, so even if you aren’t doing more than 25 tracks at a time, this is still a nicer way to go, and it’s what I’ll be doing from now on.

If only I’d decided to do this when I still had a dozen albums to upload!

Anyway. Yeah. This makes Kunaki a lot easier to deal with. Enjoy.
