While it's kindof old, and the interface isn't the greatest, I use gtoaster the largest part of the time personally. It does something that most of the others don't seem to do: it automatically invokes sox to convert wav or other audio files to native CD audio on the fly during the burn. I regularly record mono sources at 44.1ksps, and it is inconvenient to convert those over to stereo (not to mention the space it takes: we're talking full 74 minute audio files here) just to burn them. The version of k3b I have installed (0.10.3, which may be for all I know an ancient version) does not seem to do this. If the latest k3b does this, I'd love it, since I live predominately in KDE, not GNOME. But gtoaster is a GNOME program and works quite well for what it does. To get gtoaster to work without SCSI emulation isn't too difficult; I have it set up on my home machine to do it with ATAPI instead. It involves, IIRC, prepending the ATAPI: to all the places where the device is referenced in the settings. My laptop (which is what I'm on right now) is still using ide-scsi, so I haven't done the mods to it yet. -- Lamar Owen Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu
