Im using the gnome desktop

Changed subject heading from "cd mp3 burning" to "Recommend a CD-Burning App.", as the more general case seems a good fit. -- desultory

Admins - if this belongs in multimedia, feel free to bump it there. Its not really a bug / issue, i just cant decide what burning app to use

I use gentoo amd64, and i need a CD/DVD burning app

I notice KDE has its own K3B app, but im minimalist and use XFCE4. Do you guys n gals know any good burning apps? All i want to burn is audio cd's, ISO's -> disk, and data -> disk. I dont care about DVD movies or anything like that.

Ill be using this on both my gentoo lappy (with its burner) and my desktop too.

Any ideas? I ran an "emerge --search CD | grep burn" to see what there was, but i cant imagine that got everything, and i couldnt find any good reviews on this area.

Ideas are welcome! cheers

It doesnt detect that the CD in the CDROM drive is blank :/ It comes up with the correct "Device: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-215", but wont let me choose the speed/write mode or hit "burn". I think it may be time to bump this to multimedia as its now a bug

You could try a command-line app like cdrecord. If you're a little adventurous.

xfburn works! just wants to be run as root.

whats the user group for CDRom burning? I'll need to add my user to it.

Admin: this would probably best suit the "multimedia" section. I anticipated it would be a big "which cdburn app is better" debate :/ - my bad!

I like bashburn a lot. Its text-only interface is a lot easier to use and effective than many graphical interfaces. Yes, I'm looking at you xcdroast.
