Sometime in November squeegy-wplug at squeegy.org assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| I have been ripping my cd collection for weeks now and I have 30GB of
| mp3s so far.  I would like to back them up to cdr.  I do not have a tape
| drive.  I would like to point the program to directory and have it prompt
| me for cdrs untill everything is backed up.  I don't have the space to
| use tar and split and cdrecord.  I would like the program to keep track
| of what has been backed up and be able to do an incremental backup to cdr
| as well.  Does anyone know of a program like this for linux?  I am using
| RH 9 if that helps.  Thanks.

this is going to be a pain in the ars. and if a cd gets scratched, you
might be really screwed. if you only have 30gb to backup and don't expect
that to grow substantially (greater than 200gb or so), you might want to
consider getting one of those hard drive caddies and use rsync to back
everything up every week or so.
