K3B has been my favorite CD/DVD burning tool ever since I started using Ubuntu some 4 years ago. K3B is a Qt based application and it might look a bit out of place in Ubuntu GNOME desktop. But from a functionality point of view K3B is far ahead of all its competitors.

Brasero Disc Burner
If you are an Ubuntu user, you
don't need any introduction to Brasero Disc Burner since it comes as a
default application in Ubuntu. Supports features like on-the-fly
burning, multi-session, on-the-fly conversion of music playlists in all
formats supported by GStreamer and so on. Brasero is my second favorite
Burn tool available for Linux.

Yes, Nero indeed has a Linux version
of its popular CD/DVD burning application. Nero Linux 4 costs US
$19.99 and there is a demo version also, available for free download.

ImgBurn for Windows, Linux(under Wine)
Before getting excited, let me make it
clear. ImgBurn is not an open source application and there is no
official package for Linux as well. But ImgBurn is among the few
applications which runs neatly under Wine and that is exactly why it is
included in this official listing of Wine supported applications.

SimpleBurn
is a minimalistic application for burning and extracting CDs and DVDs.
SimpleBurn was designed to have minimal dependencies. It uses GTK2 libs
for the interface for burning it uses CDRTools (cdrecord, cdda2wav,
mkisofs) or CDRKit (wodim, icedax, genisoimage).
- Installation in Ubuntu is a bit complicated since there are no DEB packages available AFAIK. You can compile and install SimpleBurn instead. Instructions here.
