Well, lots of answers which are leaving me rather confused at the moment. Here is what I am trying to do.

I have two music CD,s with various tracks on each of course. I want to take just one track from each CD, and transfer just those two tracks to a single CD-R CD. These tracks are being used for a wedding, one for the bride coming in, one for the couple going out.

I could, of course, use the original CD's and find the right track on each one at the right time. I was just trying to find a way to make it easy by having just the two tracks on one CD. That way, no ejecting one CD to replace it with the other, and each time making sure to find the right track.

The problem, of course, is that my computer has just the one CD drive. So I suppose I must copy the tracks to my HD first, and then burn them to the CD-R. Is that right?

By the way I have used K3B a lot, but I have never used Brasero.

I have never used K3B but I would
1)  Insert the CD

2)  Create a new directory and move to that directory

3)  At the command line, in that directory type "cdparanoia -B"

    This will add the whole disk by track to your harddrive

    Delete the tracks you don't want

4)  Repeat step 3 with the other disk

5)  Burn the wav files to a new CD b

I leave it others to suggest alternatives


rip the tracks to somewhere, (just the ones you need, k3b should list them by name or number) *.flac or *.wav is best if the audio equipment you intend to play them on is any good, using k3b, start a new audio CD project, select tracks and burn to a blank CD, again k3b. OK I see you have already done this.So start k3b, click the "New Audio CD Project" button, navigate to the tracks you want, double click to add them to the project, then click burn....

Yes I also have not had great experiences with brasereo and a couple of attempts to use Nero just left me confused...
