Ah K3B. What would I do without it. Personally, I think the window is OK, meaning it's nice and simple. I could, however, understand how some people would dislike it, and novices might benefit from a wizard or some such. I still love it, though.

will K3B get also ported to windows? I'm missing a really good opensource burning application... imo nero is much too overloaded and expensive and I don't like deepburner.

Yes, this is much needed. Of course, theres a lot of hardware considerations that need to be fixedcd-- burners are accessed differently on linux as on windows; its different than KOffice or Amarok. But the cd burners for windows suck more than the rest of the OS.

I love that program, it's quick and simple to use for some minor tasks that don't require complex editing. Last I heard on the program's website, there was a problem with the KDE 4 port (e.g. the toolbox was in two rows rather than two columns), but I guess it's been progressing well? Any updates?
