[wplug] MPEG player?

[Bryon Gill]

For "cdrecord"-ing, you can run the commandline if you must, but I've 
found XCDRoast to be the best GUI cdrecording program.  KonCD is very 
good too, but I've had more issues with it than with XCDRoast.

Two cd burning programs that I've had a hard time burning .iso images with 
are gtoaster and the burn:/// that's built into the latest version of 
Nautilus.  

The weird part is that sometimes you have to have your ide cdburner appear 
as a scsi device, but I've heard that with the latest cdrecord this is no 
longer necessary.
