you could use "dd" to burn iso images, in command line. http://www.linuxandubuntu.com/home/how-to-burn-iso-image-to-dvd-and-usb-usin... or if u need a simple easy-to-use gui, u can go for balena Etcher On Wed, 21 Oct 2020 at 07:58, mick howe via arch-general < arch-general@archlinux.org> wrote:

cdrecord from cdrtools does the job on the command line. -- Javier

I didn't make myself clear, there are plenty of adequate programs to author and burn the disc out there but everything seems to go out of its way to make printing a file list to go with the disc a massive chore, I mean how hard would it be to make the printable file list? mick in glen innes 2370 On Wed, 21 Oct 2020 at 14:21, Javier via arch-general wrote:

Recently a friend asked me to compile and burn a few of his favourite songs to CDs to keep in his hot rod. worked out to 120 tracks on 4 CDs. That was easy enough to do with brasero or xfburn but neither of them even allow me to directly print the song list or even copy it to the clipboard. The only way to get the list was 'screenshot' the file list to the clipboard, open libreoffice and create a page template, paste the lists into it and print that. mick in Glen Innes 2370 On Thu, 22 Oct 2020 at 08:30, mick howe wrote:

For the labels you could use cdlabelgen https://www.aczoom.com/tools/cdinsert/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cdlabelgen/

I suggest xfburn or brasero. Both have simple GUIs and get the job done.

Hi, I'm using xfburn a lot, but never noticed an option to print CD inlays. Let alone, that the manual page doesn't mention such a feature for cdrecord, which was mentioned by somebody else. I recommend to use a search engine and a search term such as linux software to print cd inlay Regards, Ralf

I'm serious, it's not meant as an offence. The OP probably already did this ;). At least I never came across all in one software for burning a CD/DVD + printing simple CD or DVD inlays, that fit the CD/DVD case.

I've not done the printing part, but cdrskin ought to handle the rest of your requirements nicely.

Perhaps if OP told us what exactly he wants to burn, we could be of more assistance.
