10:49 AM CD Burners For Linux |
1. K3b
Not many can argue
against this one. K3b is the
most popular burning application for Linux, and although it uses KDE3
libraries, many GNOME users prefer it too over native GTK burners.
K3b 1.0.5 running in Debian Lenny
The
version I'm going to talk about is 1.0.5 for KDE3, but K3b 2.0 for KDE4
is in the works, and the second alpha was made available for testing
purposes earlier this year. You can read my review of K3b 2.0 Alpha 1 here.
K3b
can burn anything, from audio CDs to DVDs or ISO images. It allows you
to save the projects, it includes a powerful file explorer and an easy
to use interface. You can also use K3b to create CD/DVD ISO images, it
supports projects, multisession mode and ripping video DVDs.
2. Brasero
Brasero is the default
GNOME burning application. As usual, it features a simple interface
which integrates very well in GNOME, with five large buttons for fast
access to the most common actions:
- Audio project, to create an
audio CD
- Data project, to create a data CD or DVD
- Video
project, to create a video DVD or SVCD
- Disc copy, to copy a CD or
DVD
- Burn image, to burn CD/DVD ISO images
Brasero 2.26.1
in Ubuntu 9.04 - start-up window
 
The
nice thing I found about Brasero is that it also includes a simple but
useful cover editor for your CDs or DVDs.

3. GnomeBaker
I think GnomeBaker is a
little underrated by some. It has a simple interface, which kind of
resembles the one of K3b, with the file explorer in the middle of the
main window. GnomeBaker can burn CDs, DVDs, audio CDs, CD/DVD ISO
images, it supports multisession mode, dragging and dropping files and
projects. A very good alternative to Brasero for GNOME users.

0.6.4 in Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope
Several
others are also worth mentioning. We have MyBashBurn, which is a wonderful
text user interface frontend to cdrtools and growisofs for burning
CDs/DVDs, it supports multisession and burning ISO images too.
There
is also Nero
Linux, which is great, but unfortunately closed-source, from the
same project which does Nero for Windows. A trial version is available
for download here. In
Ubuntu, just download the (currently) nerolinux-3.5.3.1-x86.deb
file and use sudo dpkg -i
nerolinux-3.5.3.1-x86.deb to install it.
