This might be rather stupid, but I did not easily find an answer to this. When putting an empty CD into the drive, a new device with the location burn:///
is shown. However, there is no clue how to use it. I tried copying files into the empty directory, but this does not work. Is this supposed to work? What is the suggested method on Elementary OS to burn CDs?

I was wondering the same. I guess Files it's not feature complete and the idea is to add burn capabilities like Gnome's Nautilus– MegaTuxJun 2, 2016 at 21:42

I don't know about the burn:///
location but based on experience, I can recommend the K3b burner. It's available in the Software Center.

1Sure, thanks for the reply. I installed a burning application (brasero, did not really care which one), but I am wondering what the burn:/// is supposed to be good for. It looks like it is supposed to be used for burning CDs, but it is unclear how to me how to actually use it...– haraldklFeb 29, 2016 at 10:21

Brasero fits better with elementary, because it's meant for GNOME based systems. K3b on the other hand is meant for KDE desktops. The reason why I recommended K3b is that I have heard that several have had problems with Brasero. Feb 29, 2016 at 10:30
