I installed 7.3 over the weekend and would like to start burning some audio CD's for my car and stereo system. Now I'd like to do the same with 7.3.
I did a custom->everything install and selected the ide-scsi option when the install prompted me. I have a PLEXTOR as my CD writer and a CREATIVE as my CD ROM. The PLEXTOR hardware was installed as the master when my box was originally assembled and has not been changed. cdrecord -scanbus finds my PLEXTOR but not the CREATIVE. GRUB is my boot loader.
I was exposed to some of the non-gui programs for CD Writing and the command line parameters were, IMHO, cryptic at best. I think I would be better off using a nice, well behaved gui for the task at hand rather than learning CD Writer technical terms and lingo.
I have a couple/few questions.
Which app would you suggest I use for burning CD-R's?
Are there any web sites I can get/share MP3's at? I tried getting
limewire but if I recall correctly I had trouble with either getting the Jave Runtime or installing it.
- Would someone be willing to assist me in getting up and running?

This may be a bit late. For burning CDs I use XCDRoast. I download it rather than use the version with RedHat. The new version is *NICE*.
As to Limewire. I'd watch it. There are reports about tons of spyware in anything after 1.7. Instead I use gtk-gnutella. It's a little harder to use but the source is open and it works well for me...
