[RndTbl] CD Writing and MP3's using RH 7.3 - Valhalla

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.

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

2) 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.

3) Would someone be willing to assist me in getting up and running?
