Which one is the best

I use 'cdrecord' and it's great - command line though. I don't know if there is an X app for that.

K3B is indeed a KDE-based app and requires most of KDE to be installed. A lot of people don't want to install an entire DE for one app, a really good GNOME burning app is Graveman, Google for a link. Works well and isn't packed full of options you'll probably never use

Hrmm... well if you really must use a Gnome app you can always use Graveman... but KDE rules and so does K3b.

You don't need to install all of KDE, just qt and kdelibs. As for a gtk cd/dvd burning app, I recommend gnome-baker although I think there in no opensource gui app thats better than K3b at the moment. On distros that I am running GNOME only, I still install k3b.

kde rules are u sure? Gnome is smaller and it's Object oreintated

k3blibs depends on kdelibs4 (>= 4:3.3.2-6.1); however:
Package kdelibs4 is not installed.
k3blibs depends on libqt3c102-mt (>= 3:3.3.4); however:
Package libqt3c102-mt is not installed.
k3blibs depends on libtag1 (>= 1.3.1); however:
Package libtag1 is not installed.

I installed libqt3c102-mt and libtag1 using apt-get but it said that they both have been replaced by some other package which i already had. Shouldn't it recognise that they been replaced? How do I get this working

I tried --force-all while installing k3b but it displayed an error whn i ran k3b
k3b: error while loading shared libraries: libaudio.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This is not a KDE problem but a packaging problem. I installed k3b fine on Fedora Core and all that was needed was qt3 and kdelibs.

What if I repackage it

First of all find out what package provides "libaudio.so.2" and install that before trying anything else.

it then it come up with other files and evetually it messed up gdm and other programs. GRR when will everything catch up so we dont have this annoying compatibility problem between 64 and 32 bit. My processor is supposed to be backwards compatible and yet it doesn't work annoying.
