Duke of URL: Burning Ring O' Fire: CD Recording - The Ins and Outs on Linux

[ Thanks to Patrick Mullen for this link. ]

"If you're anything like me, you like to use your Linux machine for everything. Games, productivity, music, and sometimes even recording, or as the geek-savvy crowd calls it, burning CDs."

"When switching from Windows to Linux, there are a few things you have to know-especially about your CD recorder. Firstly, is it IDE or SCSI? You better hope it's the latter of the two. Why? Simply because Linux users a large amount of SCSI emulation to do all your CD recording work."

"Did you just spend all that money on a brand-new 12x CD recorder only to find out it's IDE? Never fear, there is still hope for you-let's just hope you're hardware-savvy (which is unfortunately not the case for many IDE users), or willing to tweak a few configuration files."
