May I ask how you burn CDs? I burned my last couple of
discs using
cdrdao, but writing TOC files and remembering funky CLI options isn't
exactly the easiest option. Nice GUI burning programs like k3b are KDE
dependent. There are loads of programs supposed to make it easier, but
in my experience most are fairly buggy or lacking important features.
I use cdrdao. TOC file syntax is easy to forget, but I keep some
examples so it only takes a few seconds to refresh my memory.
Same for the command line options (mostly driver) - I just keep
a script in ~/bin.
K3B blew up a speaker (vintage 1970's JBL) some years ago by
playing some 'desktop sounds' at full level to announce it had
finished. I wrote to the author to ask if this could be disabled.
Answer: no, only if you run the full KDE desktop and its config
utility. Since then everything KDE is banned from all my systems.
