k3b is a front end for cdrecord. So there's your CLI cd burner.

A command line program to burn CD is cdrecord itself. K3B uses cdrecord to burn cds.

Yeah, you can use it now. Look at 'man cdrecord'

Exclamation Best NON-Graphical burner!

If you're looking for the BEST non-graphical front end for burning CDs:

http://freebits.de/magma/

It's been written as a BASH script so you can go into the code VERY EASILY!!!!!!!

I don't know anything stable than this one! And was thinking that it would be great to have this one converted to a GNOME-specific application to have a little bit of competition over k3b... Which I use on Gnome when I want a good Graphical Front End...

Hope I helped you! I Can't think of something easier to learn how cdburning works with cdrecord and others...

I find K3B is pretty good...I used to use EasyCD creator in Windows.

I also like ERoaster...which is similar and also works very well (made for Gnome I think)

I think doing it in the CLI is the easiest of all:

1. Make your image file, which we'll call "my_image.img" by running this command:
mkisofs -r -o my_image.img /home/user/whatever

2. Burn it to CD by running this command:
cdrecord -v speed=8 dev=0,0,0 -data my_image.img

Change the speed setting as necessary to match your CD-RW. Personally I'd recommend using a lower setting than the hardware can truly support, just to minimize the chance of burning coasters. -- J.W.

Thumbs down

hey k3b is too cool..but i guess iwill try that freebits.something which was written in bash script..the only problem with k3b which i found out till now is that when i wanted to burn an .iso image...its not supporting it..it has only one image format supported.that is iso9660..so when i added this something.iso its simply showing a msg box saying something which means format is not supported.
the result being a wasted cd..the problem in this part of hte world the cost of a cd is something like cost of 2 diet pepsi's put together.so..i guess...k3b is not that that cool after alll..
