Generally, you can drag and drop any item showing up in the upper half of the
NeroLINUX window into both the track editor and the file system editor of the
lower half, with different results of course. That is also how you will create your
CD-R/RW or DVD/RW.
Everything that is to appear as a separate track when the disc is inserted into
your home stereo must be dragged into the track list, everything that should
appear in the file system of NeroLINUX must be dragged and dropped into the
file system editor.
If you right click on your mouse button NeroLINUX will automatically create a
copy of the data you added on your hard drive. This can be useful when working
with multiple removable media. Additionally to the source section, files may also
be dragged into NeroLINUX from external sources like your favorite file manager.
The following features can be found on the bottom side of NeroLINUX's main
window.
This part contains the compilation size status bar display. This bar is similar to
the one in Nero Burning ROM. Some small differences are present:
 Tracks that are already on a CD are printed in light blue
 To change the units (Megabytes to minutes or visa versa) just double-click on
the area.
Please note that if you are currently creating an audio CD, the compilation size
status bar bar units will be automatically set to minutes.
Below the compilation size status bar bar, is the status bar. This bar will provide
some help messages if you pass the mouse over an item on the screen e.g. a
menu item. At the right side of this status bar, is the active recorder name, and
the preview player. To use this player to preview an audio file, just drag and drop
it over the player It will automatically be played if the external player for its type is
available. (See NeroLINUX’s filetypes section for more details)
3.1 Making a CD or DVD from files stored on your
computer's hard drive
This section describes how to record files (e.g. graphics files or other documents)
on a CD-R/RW or DVD/RW. To write files to a medium simply drag and drop
them from the 'My Computer' section into the upper half of the NeroLINUX
window or from your favorite file manager into the file system editor (use the first
in the list of icons to the lower left of your NeroLINUX window). You can delete
files, create directories and rename files or directories by selecting the relevant
files and right clicking on the mouse to display a menu containing several options.
