K3b

Kubuntu includes k3b Based on kde4 in earlier versions. K3b is a CD and DVD recording.Program. But it is still unclear about its stability.

 

Amarok and codecs

 

Like other Linux releases, kubuntu is plagued by encoders. Proprietary encoders cannot be packaged in free operating systems. This is an unpleasant situation for users, and some complain to developers. It is easy to install encoder in kubuntu. However, starting amarok will remind you to install a specific software package. You can select the option you want to install.

Kubuntu provides a KDE-based easy-to-US project to create a kubuntu boot disk.
