I've used K3B for a long time. When it works with your hardware, it's 
quite good.

For a long time on my various desktops, it had some verification bug, in 
which it would RECORD track 0, then attempt to VERIFY track 1. Sounded 
like a classic "off-by-one" programming bug. It would then fail to 
verify. K3B team blamed it on my hardware, but other CD burning software 
worked with the same hardware. K3B team, of course, continued to blame 
the hardware. Not just my hardware, but different hardware used by other 
people who reported the same problem. (Lowered my opinion of the K3B 
team, FWIW.)
