I suspect that Scott has the better knowledge, if not, try the tips given by the link.

Re: k3b can't burn audio CD, got a few coasters today
Excerpts from H.S.'s message of 2011-06-12 00:12:04 +0200: Hello. I have experienced this problem on and off for the past several months. But today it was the worst case. I am trying to burn a bunch of mp3 files to make an audio CD using k3b. I was able to so do for the first one after burning only a single coaster.

However, the disc still keeps spinning, the drive has its activity light blinking and I cannot eject the disk.

I was, after all, able to burn mp3 files directly to make an audio CD a few times in the last few days. I suppose I need to repeat the experiment with another set of mp3 files and see how it goes. As your log showed - the problem was occurring very early in the audio cd creation process. Your failed attempt never got as far as the image creation process - well short of actually beginning the burn - which meant the problem was occurring during the creation of the image (that later gets burnt to the device). From hazy memories:- Organize order of tracks Create cd text (hence my suggestion to disable) convert music files to 16-bit WAV with incremental numeric in names to organize structure TOC (?) make image continuous write of image Disclaimer: be very wary of relying on my hazy memories. :-( Does Nautilus have an option allowing you to create an audio CD image file?

Not worried about the coasters as much as I am about the reliability of the Debian system that I am used to. Not too worry. Debian is as reliable as ever! If you break it - you can keep both pieces Under-promise - over-deliver If you don't like it - fix it yourself ;-p I couldn't find an option in Nautilus to make a an audio cd. I gave up on Nautilus for this task. I use KDE - no DE, so I'm not offended ;-p Try setting K3b to the lowest speed and burn an image only,without cd text enabled. That I haven't tried yet. Well, actually, I did try a fixed speed of 40x or so (instead of the top 48x) and got the same problem. Maybe a much lower speed will be one of the experiments. I meant much slower eg. 2x Doesn't matter as it was always unlikely (unless the log was wrong) that the error was during that part of the process. I see a couple of weird things in your K3b log:- Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid) (and as noted by tv.debian) the fifo error - which shows the failure is very early in the audio cd creation process. Follow his (sic) suggestions - I'll have a read of your reply. I will try losf and fuser next time. top could also be instructive. Need to find out which package/s do/es the mp3 to WAV conversion. That is the step where the problem is taking place. Based on what I have installed on my system it could be sox, transcode, ffmpeg, toolame or twolame. My first guess would be sox - but in case it isn't obvious, I really don't know. A guess is not a good starting place to continue isolation testing from. *Perhaps someone on this list could post the answer to what K3b uses to convert mp3s to WAV files in order to create audio cds??* Anyway - once you know what package does the conversion - you need to then test the conversion step. eg. you find out mpg321 is used:- Create a test directory. Copy all the mp3 that you used for the unsuccessful audio cd burn into the test directory. Change the mp3 files names to numerical names that correspond to the order you wish them to occur on the audio CD. eg. 000.mp3, 001.mp3 etc. eg.:- $ mpg321 -w whatever.mp3 whatever.wav Then you'd need to use cdrecord or similar to test burn them. I'd avoid using the package that K3b uses just in case the WAV creation is not the only problem. I'm reasonably certain it's not a permissions or group membership problem. So am I, since in that case I would get the problem every time. Yes. Agreed. I suspect it's your mp3 files - that's why I'm suggesting you do the tests with the ones that failed to burn. Lame is pretty good at conversion but the WAV format required is tricky - also the size can be an issue. Soon as we determine what K3b uses for the conversion we can move to the next stage of fixing the problem. By the by, what DE do you use? I believe K3b is one of the finest GNU applications - probably better than any other CD creation application

Sorry, I can't help you, but perhaps there's a better way to eject a CD.

Re: k3b can't burn audio CD, got a few coasters today
Additional info: If it matters, when I insert a blank disc in to the drive, gnomebaker starts automatically even if I am KDE. I close it promptly and continue with using k3b. However, the same thing happened when I was able to burn some cds successfully in the recent few days. Also, I have returned audio CD burning after several months. I never had this kind of a problem before. My Debian Testing machine is fully updated. -- Please reply to this list only. I read this list on its corresponding newsgroup on gmane.org.

No. And No. Eject doesn't care about mount.
