Other CD recording frontends:

There are many cd recording frontends available for Linux and everyone is quite different to the other. So if you do not like the concept of Gnome Toaster, why not check out some of those? Probably one of the best-known cd recording frontends (and one of the oldest and thus most stable ones I think) is Xcdroast by Thomas Niederreiter (http://www.xcdroast.org).
A very promising program is gcombust, it's got plenty of options to fiddle with. Other programs are kisofs, keasycd, BurnIT, cdrtoaster, ... If you prefer command line programs,why not get a little perl script by Audun Ytterdal, which writes mp3 files on-the-fly,based on mp3 player tracklists. It does so by using cdrdao, thus writing in dao mode. It's available from http://james.fix.no/mp3tocd.shtml. There's also a rather sophisticated ncurses/freepascal based textmode frontend to cdrecord available at http://www.datadictator.co.za/cdtux/ . Among other things, it can also record mp3 files as audio tracks.
