[wplug] Using cdrecord

[Lawrence]

Try gtoaster (GNOME Toaster)Version 1.0Beta2   I've had some problems with
xcdroast, made quite a few coasters!
Gtoaster is not perfect but it works for me.  I've made both data CD's and
Audio CD's from MP3's. I've been thinking of trying to run Adaptec Easy CD
inside a WINE Xwindow.  Does anyone in the group have any experience with
this?

Odd, that's almost the same exact command I use to write stuff.  Are you
able to mount the ISO via loop back to check it?

    $ mount -o loop backup.iso /mnt/point

Does xcdroast show you the exact commands it uses to do stuff?
