No thats wrong, maybe this is possible in a future release. Currently it can't use the new cdrecord feature, as the release of the new cdrecord was near the same time of the release of k3b 0.8.1. I for myself love k3b because it is easy to use and can burn (s)vcds as well as audio-cds (from mp3/ogg/playlists) and datacd's and mixed mode cds. Maybe in a future release something like that is possible (with readcd and cdrecords ide-interface) -- Regards Steffen ____________________ counter.li.org : #296567. machine: 181800 vdr-box : 87 ____________________ Please dont CC me, since if I have replied I'll watch the tread.
