Help burning CDs? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm having an issue trying to burn a music CD for use in my (very old, I know I know) car. I'm running FedoraKDE (40) and Brasero, a Liteon brand external optical DVDRW drive, CD-R (TDK brand), and a Framework 16.

The issue I'm having seems to be that the blank disks(maybe?) aren't recognized automatically by Fedora, when I pop a full commercially released CD in it'll play/rip, but with a blank disk nothing happens, and I don't know where to "save" the "image" of this album I'm creating in Brasero to get it on the disk.

Someone on a random linux forum told some other guy to run cdrecord -checkdrive which says my drive is at /dev/sr0 with a blank disk, but that's as far as I've gotten. Do I choose sr0 as the place to save it? It says "something something overwrite" when I try which makes me wary, it seems it wants to overwrite "sr0" itself and either bork my drive or install, but maybe?

I'm positive it's just something simple I'm missing, any help would be greatly appreciated and I can answer questions and run commands if needed (but I don't actually have WIFI rn, so I'll have to have the package for said command already.)

Thanks in advance.

The way I do it is I rip the cd I have to FLAC or MP3, then I mix the songs I want and burn it to a “music CD”. You do not want to make a data cd as computers usually try to burn by default.

I can rip em no problem. I "ripped" this one and am totally "just making a backup." Where I got 14 audio files is of little consequence, I would like to put those audio files on a blank disk which I have purchased.

The problem is I do not know how to get the files from brasero to the disk. They're all in brasero, the only options I have are "name" (we'll call it Keasby Nights), and a dropdown menu with "image file" as the only option, and a button labeled "burn." So naturally, you click "burn" right? Ok, well now it pops up with a file picker on /home/. What now?
