burning cds with Red Hat

[fatTrav]

i think the subject makes it quite clear that I am new to Linux.

What programs (GUI preferred) are best for burning cd-r and cd -rw? Just curious

for ease of use go with x-cdroast. burning in linux is not as straight up in some cases as in windows but you'll get the hang of it. just so you know you should have that since it comes with redhat from what i remember.

i am newbie also, i started using xcdroast...then i had problems with it running out of room in the /tmp/cd file when i would record long concert music cd's......

so i switched to using cdrecord (command line).....very easy, fast, and no problems with file space

to record, cd in drive, be root in /tmp/cd:

# cdda2wav -D0,0,0 -B -owav

to burn, put new CDR in drive:

# cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 -audio *.wav


thats it!
you might have to create the /tmp/cd directory in your machine....i think cdrecord is easier and faster than screwing around with all of the settings in xcdroast
for more info:
$ man cdrecord
