Okay, kazaa is one thing, the older versions worked with wine, but for the 
newer ones you'd need VMWare or similar, maybe win4lin. Kazaa doesn't seem to 
be disturbed by being masqueraded like the donkey does...

Okay, CD burning... click'n drag does exist, I did that with k3b, it was 
relatively easy, but as I use to burn CDs and erase the data after being 
burned, I'm used to put data for CDs into one directory. With a simple script 
bound to inode/directory in konqueror, I right-click a directory and select 
"burn this on the fly". e voila. At least for the case of data being erased 
after burning, this is easier than under XP ;)

If you want a tool like nero, use k3b for data. It's as simple as anything 
under Windows.

If you find anything too complicated with that, you are surely used to a 
special feature not implemented in any linux burning program and you should 
start posting to their devel-Mailing lists.
