I’m having an issue trying to burn a music CD for use in my (very old, I know I know) car. I’m running FedoraKDE (40) and Brasero, a Liteon brand external optical DVDRW drive, CD-R (TDK brand), and a Framework 16.

The issue I’m having seems to be that the blank disks(maybe?) aren’t recognized automatically by Fedora, when I pop a full commercially released CD in it’ll play/rip, but with a blank disk nothing happens, and I don’t know where to “save” the “image” of this album I’m creating in Brasero to get it on the disk.

Someone on a random linux forum told some other guy to run cdrecord -checkdrive which says my drive is at /dev/sr0 with a blank disk, but that’s as far as I’ve gotten. Do I choose sr0 as the place to save it? It says “something something overwrite” when I try which makes me wary, it seems it wants to overwrite “sr0” itself and either bork my drive or install, but maybe?

I’m positive it’s just something simple I’m missing, any help would be greatly appreciated and I can answer questions and run commands if needed (but I don’t actually have WIFI rn, so I’ll have to have the package for said command already.)

Thanks in advance.

    Yeah I was able to burn a few successfully but not with brasero, found a reddit post where someone was just using cdrecord and I’ve now wrote a script to just call cdburner (my script) and just burn all the files in the directory to a disk.

    Now I just need to figure out how to take the output of cdrecord -checkdisk which gives

    Detected CD-R drive: /dev/sr1
Device type    : Removable CD-ROM
Version        : 0
Response Format: 2
Capabilities   : 
Vendor_info    : 'Slimtype'
Identification : 'eNAU108   8     '
Revision       : 'XL0A'
Device seems to be: Generic mmc2 DVD-R/DVD-RW.
Using generic SCSI-3/mmc   CD-R/CD-RW driver (mmc_cdr).
Driver flags   : MMC-3 SWABAUDIO BURNFREE FORCESPEED 
Supported modes: TAO PACKET SAO SAO/R96P SAO/R96R RAW/R16 RAW/R96P RAW/R96R

    And take the Detected CD-ROM Drive: /dev/sr1 part, or rather just the /dev/sr1 part of that in particular, and use that as a variable called $cdrom or something, and pipe that back into cdrecord -v speed=8 dev=$cdrom -audio -pad -nofix *.cdr that does the burning. At the moment I have to edit the /dev/sd[X] part of the script before I call it.
