CD Burning

stehughes117 · 07-15-2008, 09:38 AM

I am currently using the default cd burning package in Ubuntu/KDE called Brasero, but this seems really basic. Is there a Nero-type cd burner that will do even the basic stuff like take the gaps out between tracks for live cds etc. I have been only Neros web site and there is a version available for linux at £13 (bargain), but if there is a free option then this would be better.

If not then can someone tell me which option to download, either the RPM or DEB version and how do I install??

thanks in advance

Did you try K3B ?; I don't know surely if there is package of it in the package manager of ubuntu, but I think there is one.
I hope that K3B do the things you want... I use it regularly and I like it.

k3b is a Nero style cd/dvd burner. In fact, if I remember well my winblows days, I consider it as being much better than Nero.

Its in the repos so install it with:

Code:

sudo apt-get install k3b

Nero is also made for Linux too, but then you would need to pay for it. If you really want a Nero-like application, that would be the closest you could get.

I would recommend k3b though myself. :)

Well the thing is, this isn't something the CD burner should be taking care of. The silence should be edited out with an audio editing program. At least that's the way I see it. If anything, K3b should be able to take care of it.

IF I remember correctly the 2 second delay has something to do with whether you burn DAO or TAO.

Hi all,

I have installed K3B, very impressed with it and yes it also gives you the option to remove the gaps between tracks - fantastic!

Yes, K3b has been able to burn and create ISOs for a very long time.
