# Chapter 4. Usage

# Command line options

The usage is fairly straightforward:

1. put all and only the mp3files you want on the CD in a single directory.

2. change to this directory

3. launch mp32dao.pl [tocfile]. If you specify a tocfile it will be used to write the file .toc used by cdrdao. If you don't `cd.toc` will be used. Other arguments are ignored.

The script should work with all filenames but you'll live happier if you don't name your files like this:

    Iced % Earth - Burning ^ Times - [01].mp3

Avoid stupid naming schemes. Please note the program will compose the CD using the files in the same order as their name suggests. I strongly advise you to put the tracknumber at the beginning of the filename. Example:

    01-The_Ghosts_Of_Christmas_Eve.mp3
    02-Boughs_Of_Holly.mp3
    03-The_World_That_She_Sees.mp3
    04-Midnight_Christmas_Eve.mp3
    05-The_March_Of_The_Kings-Hark_The_Herald_Angel.mp3
