installing or using a CD burning package

[Mike Needham]

Ok... This is all good, I have decided to try to use K3b but it does not have 
the MP3 decoder installed.  I went to the sourceforge page and downloaded MAD 
and compiled it and such, but it still doesn't have the MP3 plugin 
installed... I am wondering if anyone has used it.

Also, I'd like to see about Arson if it is good, is there a package I can 
install under SuSE 9 or will I be compiling that by hand too?  Someone got a 
link to the latest version of Arson?  Basically, because I am dealing with a 
DVD+RW drive, K3b seems to be the way to go if I can get it to make audio CDs 
from my Mp3s :-)

Thanks,

Mike
