Re all this rigamarole on setting up CDRECORD, and the process of working with it:
this kind of makes me glad I did not venture beyond RSJ. It is -- in essence -- the
same type of rationale as to why I never wanted to bother mastering the driving of a
stick shift car, or to drive one. Some folks swear by it, but most can't be bothered.

I know their respective approaches to cd burning must be rather different, but Nero
does offer a "Verify After Write" option, that proceeds directly and automatically
after the burn, making it _feel like_ all this is accomplished in one pass. A feature
like that tends to spoil you, once you've used it.
