I actually rejected Brasero for a while and used GnomeBaker instead. Why?
Because with GnomeBaker I could burn my 24-bit FLAC files to Audio CD
without converting to 16-bit first. GnomeBaker did that for me, just like
it should. Brasero just spat out a retarded error message.
What about k3b in that case? I never tried it myself, and I never burn
Audio CDs these days, but I'm curious anyway… Maybe today's Brasero can do
that conversion automatically, I didn't test that since a couple of years
ago.
