Michael,

There are two different engines for burning CDs. CDRECORD and CDRDAO.

CDRECORD has a lot of GUI front ends that will work with it, and it will
work with a lot of CD-r and CD-rw. Though there is limited support for
Drives that it can write to in DAO (Disk At Once) Mode. You only need to use
this mode if you write audio tracks and want to control how much Gap is
between tracks.

CDRDAO only has one GUI frontend that I know about, XCDRDAO ( I have never
been able to get XCDRDAO to work ). CDRDAO supports many more CD-R drives in
DAO mode. With CDRDAO you have complete control of the Table Of Contence on
a CD.

For what drive you should get, I would look at both CDRDAO and CDRECORD
pages to find what drives, if any are supported by both, within your price
range.

You can find both web pages by searching at http://www.freshmeat.net

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
