I have had a great deal of success with Nautilus. The trick is that you need the package nautilus-cd-burner installed (it's on the CDs). Once that's installed, you can:

1. Select Go, CD Creator. This takes you to the location burn:///
2. Drop the files you want burnt into this location.
3. Click on Write to CD on the tool bar, and follow the instructions.

One word of warning - if you drop wav files into the burn:/// location en masse, it burns them onto the disc in reverse order. I drop them in one at a time.

I haven't tried doing a second burn onto one CD yet.

I've also been successful with XCDroast, but it's a lot more complicated to drive. If you just want to take these files and stick them on that CD, then Nautilus makes it very easy.

Hello all
   I have been trying to write info and music to cds but have been
having very little luck. I am using Mandrake 10 and have tried to use
both K3b and Nautilus but the instructions for Nautilus are vague ( or
maybe I am stupid ) and there are no instructions on how to use K3b. I
did manage to burn a small test file using K3b but it will not accept
anything more and I can't find any option to just 'write to cd'.

Is there any way that I can just 'write to cd' using K3b without 'burn'
(and so closing the cd to other input) ?

I have had fairly mixed results with k3b, (it's definitely a nice app though)

i have found XCDRroast a bit more reliable and later versions (like 0.98) have a mulitsession option
