Nero Burning for Linux

Posted by timothy on from the burning-a-hole-in-the-bin dept.

ceasol writes "The German company Nero, developers of the award-winning Nero Burning ROM suite for Windows, now release a free version for Linux called NeroLINUX a CD/DVD Burning Software, and include many features from the Windows version. This software is proprietary but free if you registered." The OEM versions of Nero that come with many CD burners aren't sufficient, though; NeroLINUX is free-as-in-beer only if you've registered "a full version of Nero software version 6 or higher," or a "retail version or downloaded version."

    ... distributing k3b, cdrecord, cdrdao and all. Those are free as in beer and speech, already work just fine with almost any burner, and they're already there (as opposed to Nero having to roll their own).

    A feature I find helpfull are the plugins. They allow drag and drop of FLACs WMAs or just about any other filetype you can think of.

    I wonder what happens if you drag-and-drop /dev/cdwriter in NeroLINUX... :-)

    Other than the fact that you don't have to type cryptic commands?

    So instead of "cryptic" commands (nicely explained in the man page) there are cryptic icons that you have to click with your mouse every time and you can't script it? Sounds useless to me.
