    Hey. Trying to find a piece of software that can take MP3s and burn them to a CD as an Audio CD. So its playable in a regular CD player. Tried a few so far but no joy. Any ideas?

    Brasero is in the package manager.

    +1 for K3B , nicer interface than Brasero imo but both of them will do the job.

    Another vote for K3B. It's the only CD/DVD burner I use.

    I might give it a try. I presume it needs all the KDE libraries?

    +1 K3B
    The KDE libs will be added automatically if you don't have them. You'll probably have a lot of them already if you installed any KDE packages before.

    But K3B really is good. It's simple and intuitive. There's a simple wizard for everything.

    I do - yakuake. But I prefer to use a gnome app where possible.

    I don't really understand why people want to stick to all Gnome or all KDE apps (unless you're really tight for HD space). Why not use the best of both worlds? I rather the Gnome environment and use it's apps for most tasks, but if there's something good in KDE I'll definitely use it. Amarok, K3B, the KDE game suite for my siblings, etc.

    Nothing to do with HD space. Gnome apps are written for Gnome while KDE apps are written for KDE. Other apps are written for any desktop environment. There can be compatability issues with apps written for a specific DE used on another DE.

    An example is YaKuake. It works in Gnome but has issues - mainly with multiple terminal windows. In KDE it works perfectly. I still use it in Ubuntu because it's better than any Gnome equivalent. But for the same reason I will always try Gnome apps first. If K3B is better (haven't tried it yet) I may use it but I've no problems with Brasero and it does everything I want it to do so I didn't look any further afield.

    Cool. I guess I just haven't come across this problem myself. The only issue I've ever had is sometimes the app doesn't look the same in it's non native environment. Functionality hasn't been a problem.
