The new update of Nero Linux 3 is available here.

Changelog for this version:

Feature updates

• The item duplication now works correctly and does not delete the original item anymore.
• When ripping an audio track, the '/' character is automatically replaced by '_' for the output file name.

This version should fix the following issues:

• Problems burning DVD Iso (Nero3)
• Nero 3.0.1.3 - MP3 to CD records only half of file
• nerolinux 3.0.1.3 Internet DB bug
• splash not in center...

...and some more

Great work...

Problems burning DVD Iso (Nero3) <- This one is defintely fixed

Also confirmed fixed: Nero 3.0.1.3 - MP3 to CD records only half of file

Thanks!

That's good to hear... except that now it won't accept my MP3s?? It 'accepts' my music MP3's but not the 30min podcast from http://www.marketplace.org, which is where I originally ran into this issue.

Also, how long was your test file? I don't think it's an issue for MP3's less than 14 minutes long.

Could you be more precise when you say it is not accepted?
-> If you don't see a speaker icon before the file, check the extension. Sometimes on Linux systems, there is a space after it. So you have '.mp3 ' and not '.mp3'.

BtW, was this file accepted by the old 3.0.1.3 ?

fyi - I started a new thread to discuss this new bug.

To be more precise:
I try to drag-and-drop the original mono MP3 from the right-side browser window to the left-side new-disc window, and when I drop it Nero acts like I never did anything. If I try to use the Add File function it reports, "invalid argument."

Yes, the previous 3.0.1.3 version would allow you to add the mono MP3 and convert it to Audio CD format (it just would freak-out at the 14 minute point in the recording).
