Hello, I am new to Linux, and was hoping somebody here could help me with a problem I'm having. It seems that I am not able to write audio CDs. Data CDs write just fine, however. I've searched the Web for an answer, but haven't found one yet. I am running SuSE Linux 7.3 and using KreateCD frontend software. I have attached below the output that KreateCD gives me when I attempt to write an audio CD. I would be very grateful if someone could give me some advice on this. Thanks.
