WHAT
----
It simply writes audio cd's from bunch of wav files and optionaly prints an
label for that cd.

HOW
---
Simple instuctions:

Just look through *.cgi files for variables and do
your modifications. Then copy *.shtml to your html-directory and *.cgi to
cgi-bin. Then just put some wav-files to defined directory (in example it's
/varmistus/cdr/musa) and point your browser to
http://yourservername/audiocden.shtml. (Notice that server must support
"INCLUDES" directive.)

Longer instructions:

Just untar (tar xzvf audiocd.tar.gz) files and do following configurations.

1. HTTP-server
--------------
If you want that cd-recorder is only accessible from your local LAN, you can
make own directory for burner files. My directories:

oma-cgi:
-rwxr-xr-x    1 henkka   henkka       2135 Nov  3 15:22 burn.cgi
-rwxrwxr-x    1 henkka   henkka       1230 Oct 15 21:31 cdr.cgi
-rwxr-xr-x    1 henkka   henkka       1093 Oct 15 21:52 createlabel.cgi
-rwxrwxr-x    1 henkka   henkka        907 Sep  8 00:06 tailcdlog.cgi
-rwxrwxr-x    1 henkka   henkka        355 Oct 15 10:51 tailhttperrlog.cgi
-rwxr-xr-x    1 henkka   henkka       1118 Sep  7 23:18 writecd.cgi

oma-html:
-rw-r--r--    1 henkka   henkka       1013 Oct 15 21:35 audiocd.shtml
-rw-r--r--    1 henkka   henkka       1025 Nov  3 15:19 audiocden.shtml
-rw-rw-r--    1 henkka   henkka         54 Sep  7 22:49 index.html

These are configured in Apache that only couple LAN adresses can get to them.

(file /etc/httpd/conf/access.conf)
------------------------------------------------------
<Directory /home/httpd/oma-cgi>
        order deny,allow
        allow from kotkapoika.koti naksu.koti
        deny from all
        ErrorDocument 403 "Only from local LAN"
</Directory>

<Directory /home/httpd/oma-html>
        order deny,allow
        allow from kotkapoika.koti naksu.koti 
        deny from all
        ErrorDocument 403 "Only from local LAN"
        Options +Includes
</Directory>
------------------------------------------------------

And there is also an virtual-host definition for this setup. This server serves
only for LAN, and in port 9090 (eg. http://servername:9090)

(file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf):

------------------------------------------------------
<VirtualHost 192.168.168.2:9090>
        Port 9090
        DocumentRoot /home/httpd/oma-html
        ServerName kilpikonna
        ErrorLog logs/omakilpikonna-error_log
        CustomLog logs/omakilpikonna-access_log common
        ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/home/httpd/oma-cgi/"
</VirtualHost>

<Directory "home/httpd/oma-cgi">
    AllowOverride None
    Options ExecCGI
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>
------------------------------------------------------

2. SAMBA-SERVER
---------------
Our server is accessible also for Windows-clients with Samba. Samba
configuration for sharing files is following:

(file /etc/samba/smb.conf):

------------------------------------------------------
[cdlle]
        comment = For audiocd
        path = /varmistus/cdr/musa
        read only = No
        guest ok = Yes
        hosts allow = 192.168.168.1 192.168.168.10 192.168.168.20 127.0.0.1 
        guest ok = Yes
------------------------------------------------------

3. SCRIPTS
----------

burn.cgi:

	my $cdrdevice ="1,0,0";
	my $speed = "4";
	my $cmdline = "$dummy $eject -v speed=$speed dev=$cdrdevice -audio -pad 			$order \$1 > /tmp/cdr.normal.txt \$2 > /tmp/cdr.error.txt &";

	First is cdrecord-device (cdrecord -scanbus).
	Second is speed that should be used for burn.
	Third is commandline. Notice the error-log paths and change them if necessary.

cdr.cgi:
	my $mdir="/varmistus/cdr/musa";
	
	Music directory. That's where all the wav-files reside.

tailcdlog.cgi:
	my $logfile = "/tmp/cdr.error.txt";
	
	This points to log-file (also in burn.cgi) which should be watched for errors etc.

writecd.cgi:
	system("/usr/local/bin/cdrecord $FORM{\"cdr\"}");

	This is path to your cdrecord.


4. FINALLY
----------

Just copy *.cgi to your cgi-bin (in example that was /home/httpd/oma-cgi/). Copy *.shtml to your html dir (/home/httpd/oma-html). Restart httpd and samba. Give proper permissions to cd-recorder device for user that is running web-server.

Point your browser to

http://yourservername:9090/audiocden.shtml

and enjoy ;-)

5. SUPPORT
----------
If you find this software useful, please listen my wife's songs at 
http://www.mp3.com/jaana ... That way we can maybe someday afford 
an true Genelec audio monitors. ;-)
