Hi, pluggers! I'm very very new at this, and I'm having a ball
getting my feet wet with linux. I've already solved quite a few of my
own questions with a little research, but I'm not sure this is gonna
be an every day kinda question. Here goes. . . . I've been having no
luck at all burning an audio cd (any kind of CD, really) with the
linux system. I don't think that it is any problem with any of the cd
writing tools I'm using (I've tried several) I think the problem lies
with the fact that my drives cd, hd, etc. are all showing up as scsi
drives when they are all on ide. I'm new but I don't think that's
normal!! if it's not, just as an exercise, I'd really like to try to
fix that without reinstalling. Thanks to anybody who responds in advance!

Hi Cary,
Way back when the original cdrecord program was written for scsi only
drives. People with IDE drives wanted to be able to use it so they
found a way to get it to work. It has been quite a while since i've
burned a CD/DVD in linux. Which graphical front end are you using to
make the experience easier?
There are a bunch of them for Gnome/KDE:
