1) Which app would you suggest I use for burning CD-R's?

I've been happy with gcombust. I've tried XCDRoast and keasycd and found them lacking. (That was over a year ago, mind you!) I usually install the latest alpha releases of the cdrtools packages from the falsehope mirror on MUUG's server, along with their build of gcombust. I've mostly used this only for data CDs, though, and not audio. I used an older version of gcombust over a year ago to copy an audio CD directly from drive to drive, but several of the tracks it copied ended prematurely. I'd expect the more recent versions to be more reliable now, but I haven't pursued this further. (Newer versions support cdparanoia, while the older one I used before didn't.)

The gtoaster package is included with Red Hat 7.2 and 7.3. I haven't used it myself, but one of our professors uses it and seems quite happy with it. -- Gilbert E.
