It has been a while since I have attempted to use XCDRoast to burn music
CDs.  I only remember that it was a difficult program to use to get the job
done. I think you had to use another utility to create the audio cd image
first, then burn it onto CD, although I couldbe wrong.

Try using a program called Gnome Toaster (gtoaster).  It has a GUI front
end that lets you drag and drop tracks onto the CD.  It converts wavs to
the approriate raw data on the fly.  Here is the homepage:
http://gnometoaster.rulez.org/.  The program is basically a front end to
all of the command line utilities like: cdrecord, cdrdao, sox, mkhybrid,
etc.  It also does data cds quite well.

I have burned many, many audio cds with this utility.
