Hi, My purpose here is to put this thread to bed. Plus, I think it's rude when someone goes to the trouble of responding and then has the response ignored. So, Richard, I apologize for the tardiness of my response.

As it turns out, I think the problem *was* a "wonky" CD-RW drive, as others in this thread suggested. I didn't think that was possible, since the drive worked fine prior to an upgrade from KDE 3.4.3 to KDE 3.5. However, when I went back to KDE 3.4.3, the erratic behaviour continued. I bit the bullet and bought another drive (haven't yet installed it). This paragraph is related to my desktop. However, the point of writing this is to say that after a clean install (i.e. wiping KDE 3.4.3 off my system) of KDE 3.5 on my laptop, kaudiocreator is working as expected, so this lends credence to the fact that it must have been the drive on my desktop that was failing. Thanks to all for their responses and their patience with me. Regards, Colleen Registered Linux User #411143 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org -- [email protected] mailing list
