Nautilus does a good and easy job of burning Music and Data CDs
including .iso files very simply; however I've yet to burn a music CD
that plays on my home or vehicle player. 

If someone knows where I'm going astray with this, please tell me the
error of my ways.

As far as I know, Sound-Juicer is just a ripper(extracts and encodes a
file to the hard drive), it doesn't duplicate/burn a CD. It works very
well for me; I've used Grip in the past, installed in in Ubuntu, but
have been unable to get it to recognize my drives.
