Hi,
I had nero linux installed on my old system and it worked great. I have mp3's on my machine which I could burn into my own compilations to play in the car.
However, since getting my new system and installing it, there is a major problem! When I use Nero to record a cd, it records everything as the first track! If I put it in the car I can skip to the other tracks but they don't play.

I have looked on the internet for some other way to burn but they all seem to suggest I have to first convert everything and then burn it. Nero does this on the fly and I would like to continue doing this is possible. Are there any linux burning programs out there other than nero which allow on the fly audio cd burning from mp3???

Thanks

Download K3B, it have always been the best CD software in Linux, no mather your desktop environment.

I tried to install but it won't. I am using FVWM and not KDE - perhaps that is why??

Doh! I just realised it's already installed!! However its very unstable. If I add a track and then want to remove it, it crashes!! And it automatically sorts my compilations which is no good because if I have tracks 1, 2, ... 10, 11 etc (ie, without the preceding 0) then 10 comes after 1! Then when I try to move the tracks around, it adds another copy of the file!!!

Anyone any other suggestions?

xfburn will create audio cds.It has some dependencies that need to be installed first.It needs libburn and libisofs and also for audio cds it needs gstreamer plugins.I use this all the time on slackware 13 64 bit and xfce desktop.Works well.All these are available from slackbuilds.org or install sbopkg which make it quicker to download and install all this.Cheers.

@devnull10:
Be sure to get the 1.0.x version, not some alpha of 2.0, like most distributions ship. 1.0.x (KDE3) version was one of the most tested and stable software.

My K3B is 1.63.0.

I have tried installing xfburn and have done all the dependencies however upon trying to drag an mp3 file into the bottom pane, I get an error :

I did install the gst plugins from the slackbuilds - I used the "good" version (0.10.15).

1.6 branch is the alpha branch of 2.0, try to find a 1.0.* version if you can

And you will need the "bad" and/or the "ugly" (as well as the good; they complement each other, not conflict) to enable mp3 decoding. (It's bad and ugly because the mp3 algorithms are patented).

I don't believe this, I got xfburn working and burned a compilation and it is exactly the same as in nero!! I can only assume it's a bug in one of the unix tools which the two share. K3B works fine though!!!??
I had slackware 13 on my old machine and that worked fine though, although it was an update from 12.2?
This is driving me mad - surely it can't be that difficult to do something so simple!??

Well, after all that, it turns out it's a hardware issue!! I decided to plug my old trusty pioneer drive in just to check and it works fine!! So, there must be an issue with the drive on my new machine - not really what you expect from a new high-spec machine really is it!?

I doubt the company will just take the drive back as it came as a complete unit and I certainly ain't sending the full machine back after spending many an hour setting it up right, so it looks like I'm gonna have to just use the old drive and then maybe invest in a new one sometime soon because the case is black and my old drive is beige! At least it works, that's the main thing at the moment.

Cheers for all the help anyway guys!
