I use them only because that's the ONLY way (for me) to copy audio tracks
from my Roland VS-2480 (a 12 years old 24-channel audio recording device
with built-in everything and a little more) to computers. Other than that,
I don't use them either.

I have Brasero and I can also erase a CD-RW with a one-liner using
cdrecord, but that's not the problem. I want to be able to right click the
CD icon and then click Erase (or Blank or whatever is the proper word). I
just want it as simple as it was in Ubuntu 10.10 and earlier. I know that I
have seen instructions somewhere how to do it, but I can't find them now.
Still, somebody out there must know how to do this, right?
I just can't believe that I'm the only one who miss that feature.


Unfortunately, people who know stuff are quite busy using their knowledges,
so I guess they don't have time to answer questions like this one.
