I really don't have much experience of cd recording by any means, so, I'm not hard and fast on any method. I have used gui's a bit though. I really like Linux, and the opportunities it provides for those of different style and ability to use CL or gui, or, both. Lots of helpful folks like yourself on this list make learning a relatively painless endeavor. ;-) Thanks.
